DonnRW Posted February 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2017 I am new to the site and I am pleased to have found it. I am a retired college professor spending my retirement years playing golf, woodworking and building model ships. I purchased the Bounty (Caldercraft) about 10 years ago and completed about half of it before I started building furniture for my children and there growing families. Recently, I have had time to get back to shipbuilding. In truth, I had forgotten how much I enjoy building model ships. geoff, jedd, ccoyle and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
