shauer Posted 15 hours ago #1 Posted 15 hours ago Hi Everyone, I've been lurking for the past 4 months or so and decided I should introduce myself. I'm getting back into the hobby after a 25+ year hiatus while raising two daughters. I started building plastic kits around the age of 6 and by my teens was interested primarily in Tamiya 1/35 scale military kits. In my mid 20s I discovered wooden ship models after picking up a current issue of Seaways Ships In Scale at my local hobby shop. I built a few kits from Midwest and Model Shipways. That is until my workshop was turned into a play room for my daughters. My last project was the Pride of Baltimore II from Model Shipways. Since then I've done some occasional kits and projects but no other ships. I'm getting my shop put back together, hunting down where I "stored" old tools, and refreshing my knowledge by spending time on this site. Current plan is to start with the HMS Winchelsea, should be starting a build log soon. If that is going well I'm really interested taking on the Speedwell (both from Syren).
