Aero Posted August 8, 2022 #1 Posted August 8, 2022 Greetings,everyone! I have been lurking and reading for a while and I just wanted to say hello. I have been a model builder for quite a few years. Lots of plastics, RC and CL model airplanes, model rockets, architectural models, and mostly anything else scale. I work on scale models at my place of employment, also. I have not built any wooden ships, so this will be some new adventures for me. I have picked up several Midwest kits over the past couple of years and I will pick out a basic one to start with this build season. As a side note, I also wanted to change my screen name. However, as I see, I need 100 posts to do that, so I better get at it! ..Unless the mods would allow an early change. Thanks for having me aboard!

Aero Posted August 9, 2022 Author #11 Posted August 9, 2022 Thanks to all for the warm welcome! I have been reading several Midwest kit build logs. Loads of good info here! I will most likely pick a basic kit for my first build. Probably the "Dinghy". I'm going to continue reading build logs and other items that catch my interest.
