Oh My! Did I do it wrong again?

Hmmm; This is a "What a revoltin development,this is" moment as Riley used to say on the "Life of Riley" That was before a lot of folks time. But, William Bendix could give that phrase life with his facial maneuvering! He played a lot of Navy guys in W.W.2 Movies. I saw many like him when on duty of a " Tin Can" during the Early years of Nam. Yes, I served proudly. I also did a Lateral Transfer to the Corps as well.
That took care of money for higher education. I was a Practicing Engineer for to many years for me. Consulting and Oil Spill work kept me in the field. That's where the job is done for sure! I also took a Hiatus to go to higher wages by using my maritime documents to captain for a well known Oil Shipper/Producer. Seven years at that. That's where my love of ships shows. There's no wrong way to build them , Tankers that is! So, I do them in paper, plastic and sometimes wood too! Hopefully You'll get to see pics.

I'll add my Welcome Aboard, as well

Former sailor myself, CGs for me and a few FFs... My son is an STG onboard DDG-83, USS Howard, and my daughter in law is an STG on LCSs. We cover all types of modeling here, now, not just paper, so I hope you'll feel right at home.

My son is in this video released by the USN.
