Hello from Central Ohio


Recommended Posts

Hi all! I've been meaning to post here for some time. I've been registered for almost 4 years, better late than never :D

 

I've been following this site for some time, reading over build logs, and trying out cheap MidWest kits before I posted an actual build. I currently build a lot of plastic amour and ship kits, and I am active with our local IPMS chapter. I used to build furniture a long time ago, but after selling our home a few years ago, I had no where to keep the tools and work. I did manage to take over our den and the wife has been completely supporting my hobby.

 

I am a systems administrator for a local school district. Building models helps me relax and keeps me off a computer most evenings. I will be posting a build log of my current project shortly.

Hi

Welcome aboard, nice to hear from another from Ohio. FYI I belong to a club formed in central Ohio (Columbus) About 15 years back. The name is Shipwrights of Central Ohio. We will be meeting this Saturday at the Westerville library from 9-11:30 third Sat of each month. We would love to have you come by.

Sean,

 

Welcome aboard. As a fellow buckeye, I have to reiterate Lee's suggestion to join the modeling club.  I have been a member for two years, and although I have a hard time making all of the meetings (I am 2 hours away), the ones I have attended are really helpful. The members of this club are some of the finest craftsmen in the state, and you will learn a lot.

 

We are all looking forward to you build log.

Sean, 

 

Welcome. Sorry you missed Saturday's meeting. Our next meeting will be Saturday, April 21st in the conference room. Follow the directions you have for the classroom, but when you pass the gift shop, take a right and then a second right and the conference room is at the end of the short hallway behind the gift shop. 

If you send me your contact info, I will send you a reminder and our March newsletter "Ropewalk".  The club contact is shipwright@wowway.com.

 

Again, welcome aboard.

 

Bill Nyberg

Sean, it has been a long two years. We will restart in-person meetings at the Westerville Library, Saturday, September 18th, 2021. Will be doing a joint Zoom/In-person session. We gather at 9 AM and the meeting starts at 9:30. If you cannot make our meeting but would like to join on Zoom, send me your email address to shipwright@wowway.com.  You can also go to our home page at shipwrightsofohio.com and click on the meeting heading at the top of the page, which should connect you to our "green Room" on Zoom.
