Greetings!
Posted by Mountaineer2012 on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 1:59 PM

Hello all!

I have been getting back into modeling for a couple years now. I used to do it when I was younger, but I didn't get back into it until I was in college. I've built several different kits over the past few years, all to varying degrees of success. I typically enjoy working on historic space craft, military aircraft, some sci fi and pop-culture, and the occasional ship. Every once in awhile, I'll do a car. Currently, I'm working on a kit of the USS Constitution. I've never done a sailing ship before, so this could get interesting.

As for my skill level, even though I have improved since I got back into the hobby, I'm still a rookie... especially when it comes to painting (which is part of the reason I shy away from things like military ground vehicles). The devil really is in the details Bang Head. Haha. Advice is always welcome. Thanks!

On the Bench: 1/196 USS Constitution, a cold drink, and a bit of a mess...

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!

I've been building for 67 of my 73 years and build whatever strikes my fancy. I've done a few sailing ships as you can see from my avatar. If you ever need any help, just go to the Ship Forum. There are lots of great, knowledgeable guys, and gals there that are ready, willing and able to help you with any questions or problems. They'd love to see pics of your builds.
