Hi, everyone. I was an avid model builder as a child and into my teens. Stopped a while when I discovered girls, then picked it up again in my 50's for a bit. I mostly modeled scifi and military. Not many ships except an early 70s attempt at the Revell 1:96 USS Constitution. I got as far as inserting the fore mast, broke it and the spar deck. And that was the last sailing ship I attempted. I did build a 1:700 USS Indianapolis in the late 90s and I fiddled with some RC boats in the early 90s. I'm currently re-attempting the Revell 1:96 Constitution and I'm already gleaning tips and trick from y'all.
