Hi fellas, I just found this wonderful forum and I'm glad to join! I am a older guy closing in on my 7th decade, father of three, grandpa of one. Hoping to retire in the next year or two from a 4 decade career in construction. I've been an avid hobbyist when time permitted, including radio control airplanes and vehicles, audio systems and photography. I was once a fair builder of model cars and airplanes but it has been many years since I built a ship model. Lately I've been inspired to try my hand again. Over the years I have amassed the tools for it, if not the talent, time will tell!
I now have a Glencoe Models 1/225 USS Oregon on the workbench and a pair of Trumpeter 1/200 warships waiting in the wings. For now I'll be reading and asking questions until I have enough progress to merit a build log.
It's great to join you all!
Jim
What a lovely ship you've created Haze Gray! I've just joined the forum due to your beautiful work here. If you consider offering this or a 1/96 static model of the Charles Martel for sale I would be proud to own one! You aren't alone in adoring a tumblehome hull! Jim
