Title: Hello

Hi, looks like a decent forum plenty of contributors so hopefully a friendly helpful bunch of like minded people. I started building model boats in the late sixties later on when R/C became less expensive I started to build for pleasure and playtime, have done a few competitions, and have build most types of boats, one or two kits but mainly from just plans, now I have more time and space I am starting a two meter model of the "Bismarck"  I didn't realize it was so popular  :-))  I do intend to sail it when done so a lot of work hidden away, so I hope to learn about the modern way of building models, as my "Cascamite"  days are a bit old fashioned.

welcome to the forum. dont know about the others but i was a Betty fan! on the subject of bismarck which plans are you using? will it be a wooden hull etc. also follow Bobk's thread on HMS Agincourt plenty of info on there and he's not too far in the build.  ask all the questions you want...someone will answer.
