Hello all,
New wooden ship/boat kit modeler from the UK here, I've been scale modeling for many years almost exclusively with plastic but across pretty much all genres. I have just started with my first wooden boat kit in the shape of Artesania Latina's Endeavour's Longboat and, whilst enjoying the learning curve and the many different challenges it presents, I am also busy soaking up as much knowledge from around the www as possible.
The main reason I am venturing into the world of wooden kit building is that ultimately I would like to build the Caldercraft Mary Rose. I was extremely fortunate to spend some time working in the Mary Rose Trust's drawing office as a student Technical Illustrator for a work placement from Portsmouth College of Art way back in 1983 and although only a tenuous link have maintained an interest in the famous ship ever since.
I have been extremely impressed with the skills and techniques on display from the modelers at Ships of Scale and am looking forward to interacting with you all.
Cheers,
Mark.
