  1. Hi all! First post here and most likely not the last. Name is Guy. (I like Tom Bombadil very much though!). I am currently the Security Systems Director for the University of Virginia, past director of IT. Most of my background is in Semiconductors where I worked for Intel and other Semicondutor manufacturers over the last 20 years. I am at UVA to be able to spend more time with my special needs son Luke, who has a very rare genetic disorder (Mosaic Trisomy 13). You can read more about him here: http://www.livingwithtri13.org/albumluke.html Prior to this I rode submarines for the Navy at the tail end of Vietnam as a Sonar Technician. My last boat was USS Sunfish SSN649 (fast attack). I started this model in 2004-5.. then many things were happening in my family which precluded it moving forward. I was building this using the wonderful documentation from John Earl (who I think is no longer actively building..) here: http://www.modelboatyard.com/bluenose2_articles.html. It has been sitting for a while..well..more than a while. So, I attached some pictures of the current state.. Obviously I need to rework the decking.. I did not know what I was doing.. but the rest..? I have some questions: 1. Should I start all over? picking another version of the BluenoseII? (I love this boat.. I have the book on it by L.B. Jenson..neat book! ). 2. Do kits (the wood) get too old to start again? (it has sat in a very dry basement (sometimes wet though.. dang storms)) but high up on a shelf. 3. I think I "could" double plank this .. ? 4. Continue using John's plans? 5. Pointers? I found this forum last night and spent several hours going through it. What a neat place! Anyway.. look at the attached pictures and let me know what you all think? Don't be too soft.. :-) Many thanks for those who started this forum and those who contribute! I look for many happy hours (especially in the nights which I don't sleep so well.. :-( which is fairly often.. ) building ship model(s). +----------------+ with best regards; Guy Alias: AI1G ... ham Alias: Tom Bombadillo
