At 95, I have been ship/plane/train/vehicle/etc. modeling for 65 years and look forward to continuing for the next 20!
Currently building the San Francisco Cable Car, just having finished the London Tram. My last years project, from which I am now taking a break, is a 1:68 Victory from scratch. I have the plans and at proper scale, they provide all the necessary information to create a reasonable scratch model. Big!
 
Welcome aboard OldGuy. You’ve got 19 calendar years on me and a lot more experience. I sincerely appreciate your can do spirit and I admire you drive. I’d like to make it to where you are and continue modeling!

If you don’t mind my asking what did you do for employment when you worked. I’m fascinated by people who make days and years work for them!

Where in the states do you reside?

Finally A Very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2025!

I would be very interested in seeing some of your work.
