    Hi Steve, sorry I think my post as been taken in a wrong contexts, have looked at many amazing wip ship builds and 99% have been plastic or resin so my question was am I on the right site for wooden ship build and you have answer brilliantly thanks for your reply I think Britmodeller is a fantastic site so sorry to have you thought it was something else. Hi Kev sorry to you as well if you thought otherwise should have worded it another way I guess Regards Richard
