Treebeard Posted August 26, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2022 Good Morning to all! 1/8"=1foot Benjamin Latham. Model Shipways, Bogota.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/m5rX3cJELFDeW6Sg6 Guy here. This has been gathering dust under my workbench.. Modeling and Fishing Boats always a love.. but past many years I had no time.. Last Oct 2021 life changed. I had my second right cerebral stroke in Norfolk, visiting my special needs son. This is 3 hours from home. I had taken the day off from UVA where I was a director. Well, after 2 hospital stays, learning to walk and having to go on permanent Disability after 20+ years at UVA and another 25 in semiconductor and optics I am now home in my basement. Now a shop of sorts.. I am planning to finally build something with my hands.. my fine motor sitting down is ok.. standing up and moving a completely different story. I love smaller models ( fan of Philip Reed and his books.. I have em all). Tto build my skills I will start here I think.. or one of the shipyard card models (modified greatly with wood).. Any way.. I will read the book that came along with the model in the yellow box.. the prints are 2 colors! nice back then... There are poured parts (lead?) or is it pot metal.. I dont know.. Just saying Hey! Guy PS.. I have stopped, started or ignored several builds here.. please forgive me.. I did not have the time.. Canute, ccoyle and mtaylor 3 Quote The Road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin, But I at last with weary feet Will turn towards the lighted inn, My evening-rest and sleep to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
