Another New Guy

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, January 17, 2004 8:30 PM

Hi All.

I'm new to the forum and new to modelling. My wife told me that I needed a hobby. So, after my mother-in-law gave me a completed Fragata Espanola model ship for Christmas, I realized that what I should really do is build these things. I figure that this will consume untold hours of my free time!

After spending copious hours on eBay, I have purchased and received four model sailing ships with which to begin my new hobby. I'm going to start with a Limited Edition 1:96 Lindberg Sea Witch.

Anyways, I look forward to participating in the forum and hopefully getting some helpful hints from the more experienced amonst you.

Happy Modelling!

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll get a lot of good advice from the ship builders to help you enjoy your builds.

Welcome to the forums, RobGuru! Another ship builder, eh? Hmmm... You should get together with dleeharrison (another new guy around these parts) because he likes to build 1/200 sailing ships... I'll be seeing you around! Smile [:)]
