Calhoun Zabel Posted July 16, 2018 #1 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone, My name is Cal - initially I was only looking for help restoring a model that I inherited, but now - my eyes have been opened to the incredible world of modelling. I'm reading and reading all the build logs I can - especially the scratch ones. This forum is full of all kinds of interesting information and wonderful workmanship. I expect this is another hobby that'll be a deep, deep rabbit hole for me. I can't wait! EDIT: For anyone interested, I've started a restoration log for the Charles W. Morgan model I inherited.
