datadiscovery Posted September 13, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2021 Not new to ship modeling but new to the NRG. Started on plastic ships and planes when I was a kid and the desire stuck with me. Began wooden ship modeling in my early 20's but never enough time to do much with it. I am now fully retired with some time to work seriously on my hobby. Was accustomed to solid hulls until I met the MS Chas. W. Morgan. What an eye-opener! I love this site, especially the build logs. They give me something to aspire to. Almost done with the Morgan, then on to the A L Endeavor and then USF Confederacy. Can't get enough of the logs. What an engaging, informative learning experience! Pete JeffT, Keith Black, ccoyle and 2 others 5 Quote Pete Current Build: Charles W.
