Hello All,
Have been a builder of plastic models (all genre) since primary school and also a builder of flying models. I'm very good at starting models, very slow to build and have an attention span of a gold fish so there are quite a few unfinished models on the shelf of shame. My long time goal has been to build wooden model ships. I have completed a Billings 'Roar Ege'. On the work bench sits a Billings Renown Steam Pinnace and the Artesania Latina HMS Endeavour Longboat. The later is a practice piece to improve my planking skills. I'm getting good at putting on planks deciding I'm not happy with the result then removing them and trying again. So in eight weeks have only managed eight planks. I did say I was a slow builder. My eventual goal is to build the Billings Fregatten Jylland. On the plastic side am working on a scratch build WW2 Russian River gunboat (1/72nd scale). I'll do more perusal and once get a hang of posting photos will set up a couple of build threads. Regards to all. Mudlark
