Re: Hi all! New shipmate onboard

Welcome aboard Greg,
I have been building plastic models (mostly Aircraft) most of my life and just recently got an itch to build a Chesapeake Bay Skipjack. Since I found this site and have been going over the pictures and information offered here, I feel like I never built a model of anything before. Because of the crew here and the help you get, my (theoretical) knowledge has increased 10 fold. Just have to put it to the test. Enjoy the site.
