Introduction of Russ MIlland

[Russ MIlland]

I have recently returned to the hobby of model shipbuilding. I once belonged to the Metro Marine Modellers (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) decades ago when I was young. 

 

I am now retired and moving back into this hobby and now belong to NRG , The Marine Shipwrights of Niagara (Ontario, Canada) and the Confederation Marine Modellers of Hamilton,Ontario, Canada

 

Year Ago, I did build the Graupner Elke kit and still have that model.

 

I still have numerous ship kits and books which I am now sorting through to decide on which to build and which to pass on to others. I do have the hull completed for the Billing Boat's Zwarte Zee.

 

I have also acquired (not built by me) a wonderful plank on frame model of a three masted 24 gun warship which I will shortly share on this forum to help determine what the prototype was.

 

I am very impressed with the wealth of "Build" information here on this website.

Yes, I have spent the las few hours posting a couple of book reviews and information about two museums as well as exploring the forum and its seemingly endless amount of interesting and useful information. 

 

I did not mention in my introduction that I first have to finish downsizing a large storage unit of stuff after we essentially downsized to a smaller abode when I became disabled. Once that is done, I hope to set myself up for some modelling projects.
