Lost and Confused Posted January 20, 2024 #1 Posted January 20, 2024 I'm Kevin and this is my first membership of this kind. Been building model ships off and on all of my life. Really reduces stress, when not creating it. Built the USS Contitution a couple of times, currently building Revell 1/96 Cutty Sark. Stumbled across this MSW by accident and found that there are some REAL modelers here. Some of the work I've seen here is nothing short of MAGNIFICENT. Call myself Lost and Confused, as that was the nickname of my ship, in the USN. Was a SSBN submarine. My first choices were "Bubblehead" and "Boomer but they were already taken. I will be asking questions . Glad to be here SiriusVoyager, mtaylor, robdurant and 7 others 10
