Noctavigant got a reaction from kearnold in Hello from Central Ohio
Hi all! I've been meaning to post here for some time. I've been registered for almost 4 years, better late than never
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.

Thanks for the invite Lee. I'm only 30 minutes from the library. Does the club meet in one of the conference rooms there?

Noctavigant got a reaction from Tim Curtis in Palamos by Noctavigant - OcCre - Scale 1:45
Finally got some time over the last couple of weeks to work on this. I found a problem after gluing the bulwarks in place. A couple of my clamps popped off during the night, which caused a lot of gaps around the deck. Rather than try to cut everything apart, I decided to see if I could make things work since it will be painted in the end.
Filler blocks in place.
Planking the interior of the bulwarks.
Stanchions in place. I will be painting this model, so the filler will be hidden.
Starting the first row of planking. This kit is double planked.

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.
