I look forward in meeting and chatting to fellow modelers.
I have recently just found this forum, after browsing for ages.
What took my attention was Jerry bulding the Pride of Baltimore. I will be starting to build the Pride of Baltimore II as soon as I have converted the carport in a waterproofed garage and set it up as model building area. I had a excellent setup in the old house in Auckland where I built and played around with IOM yachts and designed and almost finished building a F100 yacht 100% carbon, complete with canting keel twin rudders, swinging rig with a gennaker. But since shifting to Hawkes Bay all that was put on hold.
I have been looking for some time for a project to built, I have plans for both Ranger and Endeavour, but the PoB caught I eye after seeing Happyhog's Prince de Neufchatel, reading Thomas Gillmer's " Pride of Baltimor" and the "Mobtown Clippers"
And thats where I am.
