Cjames Posted January 1 #1 Posted January 1 Hello everyone and Happy New Year. My name is Chuck James and I live in Alexandria Virginia. I've recently retired from federal service and have taken up wooden model ship building as a hobby. Before that, I spent much of my free time building period furniture reproductions. I'm currently building HMS Sphinx from Vanguard models. I plan to start a build log soon and hope to get to know many of you virtually in the coming months. Thanks Cjames mtaylor, dvm27, Helge Hafstad and 6 others 9 Quote
