My name is Art Lewis. When I'm not building a ship I am a radio talk show host. After building an HMS Victory many, many years ago i switched to radio controlled boats and ships. When I finish my current project I plan to order a Mantua/Panart Amerigo Vespucci 1:84. I'm am looking forward to the challenge. It will be,very different from the fiberglass I'm used to working with. I look forward to seeing many ship building discussions on this site.
