Hi
From sunny Scotland, !! aye right haha. looking forward to reading all your posts :) I am a novice builder as its a passing for me, I am currently building the Corel cross section of the Victory which has been really enjoyable.
I built ( and finished ) the Billings Boats Norden 308 I think that gave me the interest in wooden models. I have the Royal Caroline started, but stopped as I didn't think I was doing it justice, so went back to some smaller models to build up my skills. which is where I came across this forum, I was watching a youtube video on tying ratlines.

Thank you for accepting my application.

Jim.

Your Iron sides build looks fab !! cant wait to see how it comes along. I am totally amazed at the standards of the builds on this forum, These are museum quality pieces !!

We all got started somewhere and learned over time how to make things better though hard knocks and late hours scratching our heads. All work done on any model is something that is worth sharing. We love this hobby and seeing everyone's efforts reminds use of how far we have come. So post away and allow us the pleasure of your company.

Hi Jim
And welcome to the forum and you have come to the right place, i remember when i first joined it was inspirational looking around at all these fantastic builds and it helped me a lot yet i still consider myself a novice when it come's to the people on here.If you ever need to know something then dont be afraid to ask if i cant help then there is always some body who can that's how we learn by helping each other.
cheers

Yes Im sure there will always be someone who has already cracked the problem you face !! but even just looking at the steps in the builds is really useful !

Thanks again
