chriswi Posted August 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Hi, my name is Chris, I've been modeling for 50+ years now. Started with plastic cars and airplanes then graduated to RC airplanes and boats. I have always been very interested in the wooden ships, so about 3 years I decided to sell all my RC planes and equipment and made the leap into the world of wooden ships, (the ships don't crash). my first ship was the Artesania Latina Swift then the Occre Corsair. My latest project is the Occre Diana. Edited August 21, 2019 by chriswi GrandpaPhil, Haliburton, mtaylor and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccoyle Posted August 21, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 21, 2019 Welcome! I used to build rubber band-powered aircraft back in the day. Pretty quickly I got round to building them without motors -- much easier that way to resist taking them outdoors for the inevitable crash. chriswi, mtaylor and JeffT 3 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
