Hey gonavy. I could think of worse things than being a Navy vet. I was in the Marines and the best experience of my life was being aboard ship in the Med.

My models won't get me a prize, either but I keep trying to get better at it.

gonavycv64,

Welcome to the chaos!

A pinch of modeling discussions with a dash of helpful advice mixed with a spoonful of sarcasm. Saute at 229 degrees until the paint drys. Serve with a garnish of seaweed.Chef

Seriously though just following some of the threads and picking up tips from the modelers here will take your models to the next level.

I've made a few post and commented on other peoples stuff but I figured I should introduce myself.

I served in the Navy back in the early 90's and was born with saltwater in my veins thus I prefer to do US Navy airplanes, ships and I enjoy WWII era models.  I did models when I was a kid but quit doing them while still a teenager.  In a round about way serving in the military got me back into modeling.  Four years ago I got injured and was in and out of the VA Hospital and I was able to get stuff to do from them and so I started modelling again.  After 4 years I'd say I just made it barely into novice level and that's okay.  My stuff will never win awards but I enjoy doing them and to me it's about honoring those that the model represents or doing stuff I just enjoy.  I don't get to work on models that much since I'm a full time college student majoring in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management.
