Hello, All,

I am 66 and recently retired. Have been building wood model kits since 1976, through two marriages and various living accommodations. I am currently building a Sergal HMS Victory that I have worked on occasionally for so long that I have forgotten when I started - It is an OLD kit with no copper plating. I often put it away and build other kits - Baltimore Clipper, Dallas, Arab Dhow.

I have kits for the Beagle, the Bounty, the Swift on the shelf waiting their turn.

Michael
