Found this awesome forum while doing research on my next build, and then it hit me... I am not alone! Been building models since 1973 and got into wooden ships about 15 years ago. Started with kits and then ventured into scratch building my favorite ships from movies. I look forward to posting them here! Cheers!!!!
 
Thank you, Sir! I like your call sign. I've got an F4U Corsair hanging over my desk. Great aircraft!

I actually took the name back when I used to play an online WWII aviation simulation game and just kept the name over the years. :)

Hi Bovine,
Looking forward to your Builds. Also as a beginner at this level, ideas that make those things that look impossible to do, possible.
 
Gary, thank you for the welcome! Please check out my build, The Real Andrea Gail in the build log wood model forum and let me know what you think.
