Hello everyone

[LoddsParticipant @lodds]

Hi there, just thought I would say hello.  I am new to Ship/Boat modelling and other than the occasional aeroplane kit that is probably customary for any 58 year old to have completed and of course the destruction of perfectly good kits in the vain attempt to follow the instruction for completion, this is about my only experience with modelling.

 Please feel free to offer me advise and or point me in the direction of where I can get hold of valuable Hint and Tips for this hobby. I have just purchased a Billings kit “Will Everard” to advertise this as a beginners kit is a bit of a fib really, the instructions could be a lot better, still I’ll soldier on. look forward to speaking and reading your post on here in the future.

Welcome to the Forum Tony. I see you have chosen a static kit with Will Everard. The best thing to do would be to post any specific problems you are encountering and someone should be able to help, somebody may even have built this particular kit!

 

As it is a Thames Barge you may also find useful information at the Association of Model Barge Owners website: http://barge.homeunix.org/

 

Don’t be daunted, we all have to start somewhere and once you get going you’ll wonder what you were worrying about!
