Hello from Long Island NY

[Charlie Masone]

I just retired and took on building a kit of the schooner America from Constructo.  I just finished the first planking of the hull and learned a lot from it so far.  Looking forward to learning more from all of you as I proceed.

Welcome Charlie!!!   Glad to have you aboard.  Some great models around your area, including at the small museum at the US Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point and the NY Yacht Club.   I have not been to the academy for quite some time (missed our reunion last year) but once the Covid is a distant memory, there are/were some great things there including the double wheel from Connie.    If memory serves there was at least one model of America at the NYYC.

Hi Charlie and welcome to Model Ship World.  The America builds in to a very nice model.  Please post some pictures of your model as we would like to see your progress.

Charlie, are you still here? Logging on, making models? I’m a Long Islander, too. Drop me a note.
