Hello,
I was recommended to this forum by Deans Marine. Hopefully I can find colleagues to help reduce my trial-and-error learning curve after deciding to get back into model making after an absence of more than two decades. I have a project in mind, as in times before not an ‘easy option’. So …
I had always preferred to scratch-build wherever possible. Projects since the sixties have included a fully sectioned Apollo Command & Service module from plans, some unusual slot racing car replicas making my own vacuum formings, and a wood hulled model of HMS Cressy powered by a Mammod marine steam engine.
I have long dreamed of building a very detailed K class submarine, and have found a source for the basic hull mouldings which will save a lot of work.
I will go to the Submarines section and ask a couple of questions there. Hopefully some of you have travelled this particular route before.
