Hey folks. I’m finally getting back into modeling again. It been almost 11years since I did models. Had an addition to the family and didn’t want the little guy get into things, you know. Then 4 years later the other little guy showed up; well you know the story; same as the first. So, I’m 11 years out of practice but glad I can get back into it.
Hello , Welcome.. The most impotant thing is to come back. beautiful little family. Congratulations.
Regards , René

Thank you for the welcome @zoly99sask

Just got in to modelling last year. I have always loved the age of sail, and obviously have devoured the Aubrey/Maturin novels several times over. Chose as my first boat HMAS Supply (Caldercraft), because I have lived in Australia and so am doubly fascinated by the transportation period: my great-something-grandfather was sent to Hobart in fact

49yrs old, live in Ipswich, Suffolk, England

Currently doing the Armed Pinnace by Mantua/Panart

Hi and thanks for the invite!

I'm currently working on my Billings HMS Bounty that I started 30 years ago but abandoned when it came to the planking part (we had no internet forums to help back then!). I've picked it up again after being Furloughed and have a lot more spare time. I'm about 1/3rd of the way through the hull right now. I know I've made a lot of mistakes with this build so I'm kinda using it as a practice model before I pick up something else (would LOVE to do a Victory).

Here it is so far:

Hallo and a warm welcome here on board of our forum.
So at the end you "worked" on your Bounty for 31 years when she is finished...... And we will try to assist you as much as possible and requested.
Best would be to start a Building log showing your work and progress, so we can help and give hint when ever necessary and requested.
And I hope, that you can start in some time also a building log of your Victory......

Thank you for the addition to the site. I’ve build a few models since I was a child though nothing too major until recently. I’m an officer in the Royal Australian Navy and previous to the navy I worked and sailed on tall ships around the world. I’ll start a thread on my current build shortly, a 1/72 Shipyard card model of the Mercury. I’ve also recently completed a trumpeter 1/200 Titanic, built basically out of the box with a few minor additions just to get me back into the hobby. I’ve also got an on again of again scratch built 1719 establishment 54 gun British warship, this isn’t of a particular ship as such but just based from plans of the general design.

Morning everyone, thank you for the welcome!
It seems I am not the only one to return to long-neglected models in the current circumstances. I started a Mantua Models Astrolabe in 1990, then in 1991 real life got in the way and the project was shelved until a month ago when retirement and lockdown provided the ideal excuse to continue. How things have moved on in the meantime - the interweb for shopping/researching/crying for help, the online videos of how to do all the bits you puzzled about; how did I get anything made back then?
I have been inspired by Arthur's fantastic Astrolabe build log on Model Ship Builder http://modelshipbuilder.com as well as two others https://www.youtube.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/ so my ambition for the look of my version have changed to the more authentic look of Arthur's.
There will soon follow a string of posts asking for advice!
My last build was a 1:1 scale Lancia Stratos, so the tools have shrunk and the eyesight isn't quite so adequate, but there are fewer blood blisters and less swearing!
