SkerryAmp Posted August 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2020 Hey all, I was wondering whether I should post here or what exactly the protocol was for coming back after a long break. Once I saw the new member after a long break thread I figured - what the heck, I'll follow suit. Was pretty active here at one point then, as many I am sure know, life gets in the way. Seemed the longer I was away the harder it was to get back to it. My poor kits in progress have suffered greatly over the last 3 years. Moved here, stacked there, stowed over there and again moved to over here. Two of them did not make it - my willie bennet and harriet lane got very damaged in all the shuffling and are just not in a spot to pick up where I left off. The Mayflower, nearly finished, is in a wierd spot - I can't find the plans or the mats for it, the box seems to be awol - so not 100% sure where to go with that one at the moment. So, I am picking up where I left off with the Santa Maria. I have already poked around to re-familiarize myself with the site and find names I remember, good to see many of them still around. Moreso, great to see so many new faces - awesome to see such a wonderful hobby still alive and well in the age of bits and bits and bleeps and boops. I look forward to getting caught up on the builds you all have in progress as well as getting to know folks once again. Until then! Enjoy!
