Pchem530 Posted August 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2020 Hello. I registered back at the end of July, but life got in the way of introductions. I began model building several decades ago, including balsa wood airplanes and most notably, the Revell Cutty Sark clipper model. Retired, I am again starting to build models, and will open a blog on building the Lynx soon (I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay, so it seemed appropriate before jumping to a full Clipper Ship). I have read several of the blogs and found them informative, so I hope mine will point out what went wrong as well as what went right (with a little humor injected).
