Greetings to you, even if AGs are not widely held to be truth tellers. My weather casting was limited to stepping out on the bridgewing and holding out my hand. If it was gonna rain, my hand got wet. But you've probably heard that one already.
Ship modeling is fun, whether it is a ship we've ever served on or not.
I prefer small stuff - 1/700 ships, 1/72 WWI aircraft, and the occasional 1/1200 sailing ship.
You will find a great bunch at the Ships forum here.
Welcome!
Rick
