After spending almost 20 years at sea, I've settled nicely into a shore job in the marine industry. My career has taken me to all continents, countless ports, and loads of great memories. I've worked aboard crude, product, and chemical tankers, platforms in the offshore oil and gas industry, bulk carriers, and spent some years as a commissioning engineer for newbuildings in China and Korea.
Despite spending my working life on/around ships, I still choose to model these same subjects. My future models will be hybrid construction of sorts - plank on frame in a way, with framing similar to actual ship construction, using styrene sheet and strips.
