Old Navy Posted February 23, 2023 #1 Posted February 23, 2023 I came across the amazing website and highly informative forum during my research on the Model Shipway USS Constitution cross section. I read through Tom Culb's build thread at least 4 times and ordered the kit and the build has commenced. Retired Navy Officer and currently working as a contractor supporting Department of the Navy in Norfolk, VA. Fascinated with boats/ships and the sea. I started building ship models at the age of 9 (Mayflower) and have been building ever since. Some of my models include: Scratch built Charles W Morgan (hull only @ age 10) AL Blue Nose II Revell USS Constitution Scratch built Steam launch with fully operating steam plant The following Dumas RC Models: Star 45 Sail boat American Enterprise 5 Mahogany runabouts Maine Lobster boat Myrtle Cory Stern wheeler Mount Washington side wheeler Todd Dave_E, ccoyle, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote
