Hello all. Thanks for allowing me to be part of this community. I have been building models since childhood, now 77, and building only wood ship models, some kits and some scratch built. I still get the excitement when starting a new project. Currently working on Calypso. Patrick
 
Hey Patrick !
Your calypso is looking great !
One of the members of one of the clubs I belong to started building the calypso about 6 months ago. :)
What part of Florida are you in? I'm close to Crystal River. North of Tampa on the gulf coast.
 
A warm welcome aboard Patrick.
I love your beautiful model of the Calypso.
It brings back fond memories of the TV series The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau.

I am south of Daytona, New Smyrna Beach. A nice small beach town.
