Hello from a new member
 

Hi. My name is Geoff and I have just taken up wooden boat modeling. Actually, I started the boat (the Artisania Latina kit of the Marie Jeanne) a few years ago just after we moved house but put it aside (after completing the hull and decking) for numerous reasons. I have just picked it up again to finish it off and hopefully what I have learned and what I will learn here will help me with my next boat model (a present from my wife).
