Birthday Gift from My Wife

[Philski]

Having just turned 80 on May 1st, my lovely wife bought me a new ship model and I jumped right in getting it built. It's a plastic sailing ship - The Kaiwo Maru, an active Japanese sailing ship used by cadets. Its coming along but because it's summer, I am busy doing all sorts of stuff including 3D printing of course, some woodworking and enjoying the "retired life". Also building a lot of military models from my stint in the US Army. I even created a model of the SATCOM system I used to be team chief on. I used Fusion 360 then 3D printed it and it came out nicely. I'll post pics in another post.

What a very nice gift of your Admiral, Phil. Enjoy the build of this impressive four-masted barque.
Regards, Peter
