Hello SOS membership.
I am returning to ship modeling after a 12 year break, work and life got in the way.

I live in Geelong in beautiful maritime Australia.

I love tall ships and maritime history but get seasick when I go on a boat.

So I build them instead.
My current build is HMS Vanguard 1:72 scale from Victory Models.

I look forward to participating in this great online group.

thanks for looking.
 
also from my side a warm welcome here on board of our forum
BTW: we have several building logs of the HMS Vanguard in our forum, maybe you are interested to see others working or finished the same model

H.M.S. Vanguard 1787 - Amati - 1:72 scale by ALucenti

Hello everybody. A few days ago I finally started building my model. I ordered the Vanguard Amati-Victory kit from my trusted dealer and after two weeks it arrived. Initially I found the kit very expensive but now, that I have seen the contents of the box, I think it is right. The wooden boards...
