Dilbert55 Posted April 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 23, 2017 Hello MSW members, Been lurking around viewing for more than a year now and as I've started posting recently, I had better introduce myself. My name is Bob, I'm a retired "ship" builder who started modeling in plastic as a boy and graduated to Billings Toulonnaise by the time I was a young man. Had completed and painted the hull but then life and family happened so it got stuck in the closet. It was eventually badly damaged during a move so sadly was never completed. My son gave me Artesania's Virginia as a gift which was returned to him as a housewarming gift once completed. Currently building the Hermoine, which I hope to start a log for shortly. The "ships" I built during my working career were of the flying variety, specifically the interior portion for corporate jets. Started working with my hands as a sheet metal mechanic and ended it as an engineer. Have seen some amazing craftsmanship over the years and see it here again in all of your build logs. dvm27, JeffT, Tadeusz43 and 18 others 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heronguy Posted April 23, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 23, 2017 Hiya Dilbert. I'd have loved to have had a ride in one of your corporate jets - did you keep one for yourself?? Welcome to MSW - I'll keep an eye out for your build log. Nirvana, mtaylor, Eddie and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H Posted April 23, 2017 Share #3 Posted April 23, 2017 Welcome to MSW. Your craftsmanship is exceptional. Can't wait to see more of your work. MSW is 11yrs old now, and I still find is amazing that modellers are still only just finding out about us and deciding to join us and share their skills. It makes everything more than worthwhile. thibaultron, Nirvana, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Lad Posted April 23, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 23, 2017 Hello Bob, and a warm welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. I certainly hope the corporation you worked for was a little more functional that Dilbert's!

loupy45 Posted April 26, 2017 Share #10 Posted April 26, 2017 Welcome on board Bob, Good luck with your model. In my experience the AL's kits that are made in Hong Kong are a disaster the so called Elite Series. The kits made in Spain are of much better quality.
