Hi all , just joined up , I live with me wife Claire in Cobh (pronounced Cove) in Co. Cork , Ireland. Cobh was the last port of call for the ill fated Titanic and the town is steeped in maritime history. We live in a ground floor apartment overlooking the entrance to Cork harbour and sometimes have more ships and boats go past the window in a day than cars , we also get the huge passenger liners right in close , they're a grand sight , so you can see where my interest in boats and ships comes from. I'll post some pics when I work out how.
I've made boats before but decided on a winter project to build a Maggie M from model slipway , I ordered it a few days ago but it could take up to three weeks to get here <:( so if anyone who has made this model has any tips please feel free to let me know.
Anyway , looking forward to getting to know ye all.
Murph :-))
