Hello from Michigan
« on: March 20, 2015, 12:14:48 AM »
Retired a couple of years ago.   Haven't done any modeling in about 50 years.  My father, who is 89 recently bought a WWII model.  He inspired me.  I have always had a fascination with WWI aircraft, so i thought building a model might be fun.  Bought the WNW Eindecker e.IV and there I go!

I am a man with too many hobbies.  Need to carve out the time and physical space for modeling.  We'll see how it goes!  Having fun so far.

I do a lot of woodworking - mostly lathe work.  I als make fountain pens.  Do some work with polymer clay.  In the better weather I play a lot of golf and coach baseball. I also have a 12 year old son who keeps me hopping!
