Hello from Meridian ID

[Mercator]

Ready to get into a new type of modeling. After 40 years building styrene kits I have decided to take the proverbial jump. My first try is the Swift, the older kit with the

double planking and the lower deck. It seems ago be a good start. Did acquire several books on this type of modeling.

Originally from Belgium, maybe this is where I acquired my attraction to anything nautical. Spend several years in the Marine Corps, I was young and confused.

Now I am older but some people think that I am still confused.

Beside a lot of reading and watching videos on the subject I am building my own jig and acquiring some of the basic tools, which include as I understand many different types of clamps.

My favorite city to visit Astoria and Port Townsend.

Welcome! Some people would probably say the same for me.

Welcome to MSW and from southern Oregon.   Semper Fi to a former Marine who was also young and confused.   I would suggest you start a build log in the Kit Build Log area as it's a great way to get help and meet people.

You are now one of four MSWers reported to be in the Boise/Meridian area!  Sounds like a meeting is in order - someday!
