Hello! I'm new to this forum, but not new to scratch building. Used to do it a lot when I was younger, now (fortunately? unfortunately? I dunno) I am disabled and have a lot of time on my hands. So I'm getting back into scratch building. I did a Google and found this place.
I have done a lot of smaller models, and now I'm working on what was my dream as a kid- a warship.
Warships really aren't that hard, but this one will be- it's gonna be 16-18 feet long. Wasn't lucky enough to serve in the Navy, had to make do with a short stint in the army. So now here I am, nearly 40, and dang it I want my own navy! lol! Well, I doubt it's my own navy, but I want my own "ship" I can ride around in!
Right now I live in Colorado. Leadville to be precise. Have a few lakes near by I can use- the biggest is Twin Lakes (15 miles away), then Turquoise (and it's the closest at 3 1/2 miles) and then Clear Creek Res.which is 22 miles away.
