Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Fred and live in Piperton, TN.
Built many paper, plastic and balsa wood models in my youth and got interested in sticks and strings (wooden shipbuilding) after visiting the Vasa in Stockholm.
While looking into the MS Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, the ship on which I travelled to Australia in 1952, I discovered there was a paper model by Scaldis. I bought the model, got the paper bug and shall we say, the rest is history...
Over the last few months I believe I have bought enough models to last quite a while into retirement, most of them big including the SD-14.
Also still have 3 wooden ships kits (3 feet +) that are in the original box, the Vasa, Sovereign of the Seas and Royal William.
Unfortunately, I have always liked big models and finally have a room I can work in.
Regards,
Fred
