Greetings, I have recently joined your group, sharing an interest in ships and ship modeling.
Ive been a modeler since the mid '60s, ship building since '70.
I reside in the harbor city of Erie, on the southern shores of Lake Erie in the USA. My city is known for the construction of Comm.O.H.Perry's fleet from the War of 1812. We have the newest incarnation of the brig USS Niagara here and there is another one of his fleet under construction. The USS Wolverine; ex Michigan, the US Navys first iron hulled ship was also built here in 1842-43. I grew up a short walking distance from where these ships were built.
I have over 60+ ship models, mostly plastic, eight wooden, and one metal(I have more in storage that I'm sure I have forgotten about
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is building, getting tips on my builds, and everything this group has to offer.
