RobMann79 Posted June 29, 2022 #1 Posted June 29, 2022 Hello, my name is Rob. I live in Northern WI and am fairly new to modeling. I recently became handicapped and found ship building as a blessing in disguise. I never really had a hobby that stuck with me interest wise like this. Im prob rambling but like I said I wanted to make my presence known, and am still going through all the great builds and tips other people are posting. Hoping to start a log of the Benjamin W Latham that I am working on, but I have to figure this forum out as I am new to this also. Anyway, thanks for letting me be a part of this community and am looking forward to getting to know some people. Keith Black, Dave_E, JeffT and 2 others 5
