martin9428 Posted March 11, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2017 Good day to all. My name is Scott and I live in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Originally from Coastal Massachusetts and later from Rhode Island. Retired Army with 22 years before getting hurt in Iraq in 2008-09. Recently took interest in Ships in a bottle which is funny because I grew up and lived on the water all of my life and have been around boats and ships all my life, now being land-locked, I take interest. Started a cheap ship model kit, which can be seen in the Builders log section, to gauge my interest before building a SIB and also a more detailed ship kit. I look forward to reading and gaining knowledge from this site and look forward to your comments and help as I further my experience in this wonderful hobby.

Anja Posted March 11, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2017 Welcome aboard Scott, Feel free to look around and enjoy all the possibilities this forum has to offer. Hope to see a SIB project in the future. I think putting a ship in a bottle is a real challenge. Good luck with your Bluenose build and have fun. I wish you smooth sailing with our gallant crew.

Gurnet Posted March 12, 2017 Share #7 Posted March 12, 2017 Welcome aboard, Scoot. I know what you mean by a Misplaced Yankee. I live in Oregone, as we say it in New England. I also grew up in Mass, South Shore / The Cape. By my name you may know where I grew up. I've taken on a project that I have not done before, restore a whaling ship, Charles W Morgan.

Cathead Posted March 19, 2017 Share #16 Posted March 19, 2017 Welcome, Scott, from another misplaced Yankee! I grew up along Lake Ontario but am now thoroughly landlocked in rural Missouri. How do you like the Shenandoah Valley? One upon a time I worked for Shenandoah National Park doing backcountry survey work; even found two historic plane crashes that had been forgotten and left undocumented. Like you, I miss being around open water and enjoy this hobby as a way to maintain that connection. Hope you enjoy your modelling work; this community is a great place to learn and share.
