I am from Central Pa and I am now retired. I have no been involved in model construction for some time. Most of my previous work involved plastic models (planes, vehicles, etc). My first attempt at wooden ship modeling involved the Lowell Grand Banks Dorry, that went fairly well. I am now about to start the Muscon Bay Lobster Smack. Looking forward to following the Forum
