50 something ship model builder and collector.Usually build sailing ships or modern commercial ships. Build in wood and plastic. I also collect toy boats-the more realistic{ if this word can be used to describe a toy} ones. I consider myself something of a plastic ship model historian. Also full time student pursuing a teaching {history} degree and minoring in art. Also enjoy painting in an impressionistic style when I have the time-or the right mind set to do so.
