Intro: David......CT.....and many other places.
This site is so very cool and the members so sincere I feel I should do as the site suggests and introduce myself.
I'm David.....53....in CT....US Navy Veteran.
I began building in the mid-80's (mainly in winter months, duh!) and found tons of joy and that I was pretty good at it. FSM was a great help, though I had been familiar with SM as a kid.
After a few years I had to draw away from the hobby for well, you know, stuff happens. I gave away all my in-work and unopened stuff......so now I'm starting over. Thank God for the net.
My main area of interest is aircraft 1930-1945.....but I love ships also, being a Navy Vet. 1/48 is my favorite scale.
I have built a few fantasy models, most notably a float version of a Brewster Buffalo.....and a 'Star Wars/Captain Nemo' (best description I can give) of a starship where I melded an S-3 Viking and the USS Arizona and alot of balsa.....I can't describe it but I will post photos soon.
Thanks for looking in.....hoping to talk w/ you
