Hi Ian Welcome I just joined this week. We practly have the same sername Forster and i am not that far away Hervey Bay, I have been on my first model for 3 years HMS VICTORY and am at the rigging stage also have built my own show case. Any questions you have i will try and help but of course you have all the members to ask at hand, Good Luck Denis Forster

Welcome to the forum Ian,
Lots of friendly members here so feel free to ask questions and offer advice.

Hi Denis
Well almost like neighbours considering the size of the World Wide Web. Surnames are close and could be related the way they transcribed names for convicts and free settlers back in the days. I also do the Family Tree so nothing would surprise me. I am working slowly through the HM Endeavour but have no intention on rushing it as it is for pure enjoyment and I would like to make sure I get it as best as I can. I will probably better your 3 years to rigging stage but isn't that what a hobby is all about... no pressure?
Take care
Ian Forester
