Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions. And don't take yourself too seriously! wirewolf (John, AKA - Cap), Forum Administrator

BM 2 (then 3, then...) well, we won't go into that part! Mostly USNS San Juan on the tugs but a few stints in the S.P. with some other detachments and aboard AD28 USS Grand Canyon. It was fun but all-in-all I prefer to be where my ankles don't hurt.
At least I learned something!

It is a small world. I was USN active duty 1956-1960, and served, approximate dates:

San Diego NTS boot camp 1956 E2
USNTS Norman OK Airman school 1956 E3
USNTS Pensacolo FL Photographers Mate school 1956-1957 E3
USNS Port Lyautey, Morocco 1957-1958 E4, E5
USS Orion AS-18 Norfolk VA 1958-1959 E5
USS Tutuila ARG-4 Norfolk VA 1959-1960 E5

mathiasen31, I just missed you on the Orion, looks like. That was the best ship in the Navy, and if I could have stayed there I would have been a lifer! I was in the Photo Lab.

Thumbs up Re: Are you Ex Navy or Still in active service?........

Pilot 1974-1980 (TA-4J, A-7E), NFO 1980-1997 (EC-130Q, P-3B)
Retired from reserves an O-5 in April 97 after nearly 25 years (10 active/15 reserve). Active with the Navy League of the United States (www.navyleague.org) and the US Naval Sea Cadet Corps (www.seacadets.org).

Got started with ship modeling around 15 when a guy on my paper route gave me a Revell Cutty Sark that had been languishing on top of his refrigerator for over a year partially completed. My parents got me a Revell USS Constitution a few years later for Christmas (have pictures of that one I'll have to dig up and scan someday). Been at it ever since, though my primary interest is US Naval Aircraft.

Have another Cutty Sark in work (since 1974!), just acquired another Constitution ($15 at an antique shop!) and have an Artesania Latina "Harvey" on the shelf. Those along with a bunch of aircraft carriers, a few battleships and three JAG USCG Cutters. Resin is a new deal for me, so those may age like fine wine for a while.

Recently discovered this site. Hope to learn some stuff.
