Back at it


Recommended Posts

After a more than 20 year hiatus from building ships, I was asking myself if I wanted to get back into it or start a new photography hobby. Santa made it easy for me by bringing me AL Scottish Maid and a Canon Powershot to chronicle the progress. I haven't touched a kit for a long time, but it should come back to me like riding a bike. Hope y'all had a great Christmas!

Thanks for the welcome. Like I said, I'm not new to this. My completed builds are AS's Swift, Scottish Maid, Constellation, and Mamoli's 1:64 HMS Bounty. I'm easing myself back into this by building the Scottish Maid again. A former cat destroyed the last one. BTW, I love cats. They're delicious!

Me, too! But I can never eat a whole one by myself. 😝

 

(Full disclosure: I actually really like cats, but I've never been able to own one because I am highly allergic to them.)
