                        Thanks Gip, I'll take a look. I understand that you can cut and paste a photo. Now I will have my granddaughter show me how to do it so that I understand that.

                        Thanks again,

                        Hello,
                        Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I did a CG power lifeboat and I did the lighthouse tender Marigold.
                        I am still trying to figure out how to post a photograph in this forum.

                        Hi Dan,

                        Yes, I have built a few BlueJacket kits, New Bedford Whaleboat. Friendship Sloop, J-Boat Endeavour, CSS Virginia (Merrimack) and the Fletcher Class destroyer. Additionally, I use quite a few of their fittings.

                        Welcome to FSM Al!!

                        In all those ships you built you would happen to have built the 1/200 Scale Revell USS Andrew Jackson?? I just purchased one on Ebay and it didn't come with Instructions. Now hopefully this wont be a problem since i did serve on her and was qualified in Submarines on her. If you have a copy of the instructions and have scanning capabilities and then could email them to me that would be great.

                        Anyhow thanks in advance and again welcome to the forums.

                        Hello All,

                        I am a new member of the forum and am really enjoying the experience. I have been modeling ships for over thirty-five years with occasional forays into planes and fire equipment.

                        I scratchbuild in basswood but will do a kit if the subject appeals to me and have built a few plastic and resin models. I do not specialize in any type or era but I favor work boats such as fishing vessels and tugs. I have done several models as subjects for a marine artist friend of mine.
