How many of our members focus on non-sail powered naval vessels from 1870 through 1945 and which types in particular?
 
Plastic ships and airplanes were my focus from about age 7 to 14, then a thing other than planes and ships became far more interesting and as it turns out far more complex and fun. When time became available for a hobby years later, I had accumulated a decent amount of tools so wood was more appropriate and more of a challenge as it was about actually making pieces rather than just assembling them. Exception- Race car kits..... I have assembled them and loved them. When on extended business trips, they were great to work on even in a hotel room.
