I'm a recently retired welder having spent most of my adult life building and repairing ships both above water and under water.I don't think I've ever not had a model kit in some stage of progress since I was 10 years old.Ive managed to stay busy since retiring by modeling,fishing, and riding my motorcycle.Like a good many other modelers I have a fair amount of kits in varying stages of completion and a stash of untouched kits.I toy with R.C. aircraft but seem to crash often so my R,C, planes are duct taped and epoxied to the point of barely resembling their original form.
