I was just accepted as a member today, thank you Administrators. About me: I am retired from shipping industry and am a Post-Coastie (ex-US Coast Guard member) and have begun revisited my youth in terms of model building. I have two modest boat builds under my belt two more waiting in the wings for me to start on and multiple stick & tissue model airplanes.

I am looking forward to the model boat building experience and hope to graduate to building a real boat…wife permitting.

Welcome aboard. I live in Houston, and they guy that started this website is a friend of mine. He does amazing work with models. While I don't build models, I have shared my interests in real ships and posted pictures of the ships I've visited in Galveston.

Welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy your ongoing model making and find this forum useful
 
Greetings Gordon, it's nice to see pics of Cavalla. My wife and I have visited her and USS Stewart on many occasions and are actually thinking of going back again next summer.
