"Hi"
That said, at age 72 I am about to build my first boat. Trouble is, I know nothing about boats. The movie, "The African Queen", was a big hit with me and I've watched it about a dozen times now and want to build that boat. Soooooo, I bought a Billing Boats African Queen model kit and am going crazy waiting for it to arrive. It was due last Friday but the tracking number says it's still in Germany. Oh well.
I do have a lot of building experience over the past number of years with wood mostly because my first love is model railroading in HO scale. Scratch building and kit bashing was my forte. So I know the basics but nothing about boats or ships exclusively. (I want to tackle the La Nina next.)
Any help, suggestions and advice is surely welcomed here.
Thanks, all,
Rick
