Greetings all,
I've been lurking at the site for awhile and finally decided that I really should come into the light.
I primarily scratch build destroyers of the Second World War, as after spending 22 years serving on, and around, destroyers I kind of have a thing for them. The picture is my closest to being finished project. Built in 1/144 from plans I have obtained from the national archives is the USS Stevens DD-479 as she appeared in May 1943 while she carried an aircraft catapult and recovery crane. One of those experiments that didn't work out.
I am reasonably versatile in several different CAD platforms and do 3d printing. Recently picked up a diode laser that I'm learning to use.
Love the look of the old tall ships, and am finding a particular attraction to the Baltimore Schooners. Have one of those Chinese cheapie kits that I am considering really attempting having been following the active builds going on.
Well, that's me in a nutshell.
Bruce
