halituzun Posted November 7, 2022 #1 Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Hello friends, I am a retired Otolaryngology Surgeon since 2017 and residing in Bodrum, Turkey. Bodrum locateted in southwest part of Turkey , a worldwide well known holiday resort and I live here for the very best part of the year. January and February are spent in Ankara, the capital, as winter conditions need it. I am 70 years old, married and have a son of 38 years. Although my history of scale modelling dates back to early 80’s , I was able to concentrate on the hobby only for the last 6 or 7 years due to very busy professional life. Actually I am not a recent member and a member since 2018. Sorry for the late introduction. I am adding a photo of mine taken in front of some finished works of mine, taken in Bodrum residence. I am sorry if there are any mistakes in my post as English is not my native language. Best regards to all Edited November 7, 2022 by halituzun Belco, ccoyle, Jack12477 and 12 others 13 2 Halit Uzun Bodrum, Turkiye A happy retired surgeon, active scale modeler and bird photographer Finished Models Pride of Baltimore II (finished photos) https://www.facebook.com/halit.uzun.5621 https://www.instagram.com/khalituzun/
