u guy`s inspired me to start up again, u guys are just amazing builders, some stuff fit for museum, i hope one day to be like 1/8 of u guys, but man i must be crazy to make scratch built stuff again after 30 years of my last ship, i was working on the uss enterprise air craft carrier ww2, and after finishing my 6 feet titanic i said i got to make how many fittings again, that ship made me quit. but now what is this 3d printer :) omg, and coming from making 3d mesh for games, i was like mmm, blender i could learn that in 1 hr, as i was fluent in other 3d prog like 20 years ago, so after spending like 3 k $ and the wife saying u gone crazy, of buying all kinds of crafting stuff, to make the HMS Victory i always wanted a 1st rate, so got my blender going, 3d printer slaving all over all the stuff i make, been doing models since i was 8 year old, just turn 60 :( 50 +was nice, now jumping in the big 60 look into the mirror and i got grey hair what is this lol, oh well healthy, don`t mind me i`m Canadian french on the east coast, not quebec, so making another ship victory, started way smaller then my other rate ship, she is supposed to be bigger, then redid the ribs, oh man its big again, oh well not doing another scale, so i took 1/42, wife complaining again, as its big, it takes a full room for all my ships, so i got them scattered all over the house , as it doesn`t seem that bad lol, but with internet, this one will prob be the most acurite ship i made because of internet,etc, so i just join because of the figures, etc u guy makes is just amazing

ty, yep, i think i got only 1 pic, lol, i should take pics of all stuff, even if its not that great as u guys , but its all handmade at least, and will not take 8 years to built it, i hate to make hulls, i find it not as rewarding as the rest of the ship, if it was made of beautiful wood, maybe, but its way to much for me, but i think i would have to find a site that stores my pics
 
Welcome to the SOS group, and welcome back to scratch built ship modelling after 30 years. I too was about eight years old when I started making models, switched to airplanes for a while but never quit building.
