Title: Newbie to Mayhem
Post by: Cpnhaddock on July 28, 2015, 10:00:48 am

Hi. Returned to boat modelling after a 35 year gap. Boy how things have changed! Already been scanning this really useful resource for suggestions support in selecting my next project.
Just revived my 1976 Vic Smeed, BBC Model World, Sea Rider Frigate found languishing in my parents attic. Will post some pics when I work out how to. Probably not up to the standard of a lot of you guys but I'm just starting out again.
Will doubtless be asking of lots of dumb questions over the coming weeks and months, so apologies in advance.
Adam

Regarding picture posting, all you need to do is reduces their sizes to under 100k before posting in the  'Attachments and other options' section.

Welcome aboard Adam,
 
Here's the link to the "Sea Rider" I built for my first attempt at scratchbuilding -

...and she sails beautifully, heart in mouth on those realistic turns though.
 
Take your time and, above all, have fun :-))
