GrappleVet Posted March 15, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I promised myself some years ago that I would one day join this excellent forum but somehow never got round to it! I’m still putting planks to decks but at 82 - although the will is there - gnarled, arthritic fingers now make things hard going. That said, there are wonders to be seen here and I shall look forward to contributing from time to time. Thanks for having me! 😎 Derek Edited March 15, 2021 by GrappleVet Edwardkenway, ccoyle, Matt D and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Thank you, Steven, and everyone else for the kind welcome! No, I’ve nothing on the go at present although I’m contemplating the newly introduced Occre “Endurance “. I have, however, recently completed the Mantua sectional model of a between decks gun station. I’m afraid my modest skills have deteriorated with age (arthritis and a tremor doesn’t help with modelling) but it at least keeps the old brain active!

mtaylor Posted March 17, 2021 Share #14 Posted March 17, 2021 I agree with Keith. Join the party and open a log. You'll get help and get to know other builders. Your cross section came out well.
