Just to introduce myself.
My main interest is the background scenery and dioramas which bring models to life.
I have some pictures of my efforts if anyone is interested (and I can find out how to post them!).
Not many boat related, unless populating a harbour wall or something.
My preferred scale is 4mm = 1 foot.
Probably mainly model railway based but certainly 'static' boats can be considerably enhanced by an interesting setting.
As I expect most people do, I built a wooden Victory a couple of years ago, kit based, but BIG!
When I'd finished and looked at it with pride for a week, I realised that I'd built a totally useless object and gave it away.
The reason I have found a new interest in model boats is that I bought a mixed lot at a real life auction which included lots of issues of the Model Engineer Magazine from the 1950s.
The articles in those magazines are fascinating and a large proportion are concerning boats.
I expect there are one or two members who know me from elsewhere.
So, that's it - except that I can't keep serious for very long.
Thanks for the welcome.
