Hi,

I am german and currently working / living in Turkey. 53 years young and I love ships.

Schoner and Tallships my favorites, but I have as well a look on all old sailing vessels.

I made an apprenticeship as mechanical and a study as industrial engineer.

With some interruptions I am making ship models for 20 years. 

Everytime with RC and from a kit.

Now I am trying on models based on drawing and without RC.

I enter in MSW to see, unterstand and to learn from you all.
