Happy birthday, Phil. Turning 80 is better than stopping at 79. Model on!
You are right! Got a new model ship for my B Day....the Kaiwo Maru. Plastic model but pretty detailed from the looks of it. From my wife....

Looks like the old German metal hull square sail training ships from just before WWII, that one is now the USCG Eagle.
A little late in the day but my best wishes on your 80th birthday Phil.
Good morning Phil. Wow a big one. A very belated happy 80th. If I ever get there it will be a celebration for sure

Thank you Sir!
Was reading a bit about it. The Kaiwo Maru is a replica built in 1969 I think. Not sure of its history but will learn more once I start the ship. I'm not in a big hurry.
Thank you Heinrich!
