Hello Everyone,

 

My name is Art Smith and I am located in Pompano Beach Fl. I am 60 yrs old and totally new to model ship building. Although like a lot of people I have made attempts over the years but one thing or another kept getting in the way. I have already started my first build and a build log on the RC forum I belong to. I will try to copy it here or at least post a link in the appropriate section. Looking forward to being active around here for the time being it will be more questions than answers but I will try to help where ever I can.
