Relaxomsk Posted Monday at 09:46 AM #1 Posted Monday at 09:46 AM Built models for many years when I was younger, but I've been away from the hobby for a long time. I never built ship models before, but I have always loved ships, aircraft, anything mechanical. Air Force veteran (aircraft mechanic), recently retired from GE Aviation, where I taught jet engine mechanics. I am a deacon in the Episcopal Church and since retiring I have been serving as a chaplain for the Seamen's Church Institute. In that capacity I have been working with the towboat crews along the Ohio River. So, I am especially interested in riverboats. The skill level shown here has been awesome, I hope you can put up with an older beginner as I try to build some acceptable models. Nearshore, Baker, Thukydides and 9 others 12
