Let me introduce myself to the forum. I am a recently retired professor of chemistry in the US. I have built a wide variety of kits. I owe my success to builders who photographically document their efforts. Though I am not one of them, I can offer tips and hints on the following builds.- Model Shipways Niagra and Confederacy, BlueJacket Notman, Amati Victory Vanguard and Corel Wappen. currently trying to lay the groundwork of the ShiCheng Requin while moving my completed projects 400 miles to Maine and retirement.
