Old Collingwood & Kevin,

 

I appreciate the nice comments on NEW JERSEY - Thanks very much. I will hopefully be back in the "shipyard" once I get a shed converted to a model shop and that is slowly in progress at this time!

That's a Nice looking build with a Nice base to boot.My Wife brought up moving the other day all I could say "the shop" I have out back woodwork one side and model room/office the other.The shop took me two years to build by myself and at my age not again.Good luck on that retirement thingy ;) Kevin

Popeye,

My project at hand is actually converting a shed to a model workshop. THEN the shipbuilding will continue!

 

Kevin,

Ditto - got to have a PLACE to build things and right now that's not the case. I'll happen, it's just going to take $/time.

Popeye - Sorry it took so long for me to see this - Thanks for the kind remarks!!!! I had all the Tamiya 1:350 IOWA kits and also 2 of the Life-Life predecessors - which I think was a better kit overall!!! Hope my build log over on MSF helps you out!
