New member ... model builder from ages back when air brushing was just a novelty idea. huge gap between builds ... WOW what changes in the hobby ... Photo Etch??? You either love it or hate it.
I built Tall ships as a teenager long before there were kits per se. I built the plastic ones for fun and paint like cartoons (On purpose). Yea I'm the wise guy. Nothing changes.
So, my first model out to bat ... was working with my son as he took an interest in building models besides those Swedish cubes. I don't want to advertise for them. Not to be confused with those very delicious meat balls. But those cubes can be a real pain in the foot at two ion the morning, if you know what I mean.
Back to that first model ... here are some near finished shots ... it an F/A-18 crashed on a flight deck with fire crews on scene putting out the blaze.
My son, like myself 40 years ago, wants to become a pilot ... why in heavens name would he want to become a pilot?
I am currently research my next project ... the C. W. Morgan. I know many have been built maybe it's has been over built so to speak. but after a 40 year hiatus from building I figure this would be a good place to start ... So, it's been a while but I'm quite sure there are many things that are kind of like riding a bicycle ... once you get going it all in the rythm and blues.
I bid you all peace,
Wes

I have the Model Expo CW Morgan kit but haven't built it. A challenging build with all those whale boats and that blubber cooker!!! Heck... I have a lot of kits I haven't built yet... oh about 200 or so... but sadly... I seem to be building mostly from scratch these days... I build plastic as well... retired Air Force... why do you Navy guys always seem to be crashing jets? Alas... I digress..
