Rick Menapace Posted December 10, 2019 #1 Posted December 10, 2019 Hello there ... again? It's been ... oh, maybe 35 years? Back then I called Merritt Edson a friend, mentor, critic, source and, on more than one occasion, a savior. Recently, I started opening old boxes - lots of old boxes - and was greeted by the smell of wood and loads of everything ship modelling and nautical history from a lifetime ago. I was a goner. Now, there's a two-year-old great niece who doesn't yet know that there's a Grand Banks schooner with her name on it. Literally.The launch is, hopefully, the week after Christmas, if I can wipe my rust off fast enough. By the way, I'm doing my old Model Shipways Benjamin W. Latham, 1/8 scale, waterline, with (hopefully) some custom details and scratch-built deck fittings and structures like the old days - again, if I can wipe my rust off. You'll be hearing from me. It's good to be back. Regards, Rick Menapace Dubz, mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and 4 others 7
