G'day mate. I'm also ex-Navy, but your downunder type. As  my old mate Hoo Yah says, welcome aboard.

Also retired Navy and moved from Northern VA back in 2013. So, spill the beans; Rank or Rate, Rating, etc, and where you at swabbie?

Oh, and welcome aboard.

Welcome DLavan!!! 

If I'm not being too nosy which part of the Old Dominion? I live about halfway between Roanoke and Martinsville myself.

I recently retired from the Navy and found myself with free time, and have gotten back into regular model building.  I used to be a regular subscriber of FSM about 15 years ago, and knew that was the right community to jump back into.  Most of my interest is in Warships, WW1/WW2 military aircraft and some Science Fiction.

Welcome back to the hobby, and welcome to the forum, DL!  We share some of the same interests in modeling subjects, and I look forward to seeing your build!

Best regards,

Brad

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Howdy, and welcome back into modeling and to the forum.

Welcome.  I too recently retired.  My companies HQ was in Sterling VA so I've spent some time in NOVA.

Welcome aboard.

Hello, and welcome!

Hi DL! Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you back with us.

Thank you for your service.

I usually build WWI & WWII aircraft followed by sailing ships, but I also build anything and everything that strikes my fancy at the time and my wallet says "OK".

Sooooooooo, now that you're retired, sit back, relax, have a sip or two of your favorite brew whether it be , , , or my favorite  and build away. If you need any help, just ask.

Jim 

Stay Safe.
