Hello from cornwall
« on: February 22, 2014, 09:50:59 pm »
Hi everybody new to model boat mayhem.I'm a boatbuilder for a living all fishing boats.About 5years ago I thought i'd have a go at building model boats (thought it would be cheaper WRONG {-) ).Started Maggie M as my first build opened the box when it first came and thought what have I got myself into !!!!! After a stiff drink I got stuck into it ended up working in the shed (which I had to build first more money!!) until the small hours some nights loving every bit of it.After a bit went mad and bought a few more kits got to the painting stage on Maggie then moved house so packed it all up.Yes you've guessed new house with a shed falling down  <:( start all over again first job rip the house out and rebuild that so done that now for another new boat yard done all that as well so just getting back into modelling.Just finished a big job refitting a Cygnus SF38 a monster of a boat for 38' drawing 10' of water!!! All being well can get back on and finish Maggie M now and start another !!!
