Hi, Peter here.

 

Some 30 years ago, I completed the only ship model I have ever built: the yacht America from Scientific models.  It has been displayed over the fireplace in every place I've lived.  Recently, while shifting the model aside to make room for holiday decorations, I mentioned to my wife that I've always wanted thought about building another ship model.  She wisely pointed out that, as an adult who can do what I like, there is nothing stopping me.  So here I am.

 

I've been reading lots of tutorials and build logs, but I'm sure I will still have lots of questions.  I plan to start work on my new kit this weekend, the Virginia 1819 from Artesania Latina.
