I’ve been working on and off since 1986.  I have an YTB tug boat that I run most of the time, but it is showing its age.  I have a KM Bismarck under construction (an ongoing project) that I run quite a bit and in competitions.  Current project is a scratch built 1/200 Italian Super Tanker.  Sea trials were in the fall of 2003 and then back on the bench.  I’m going to use a water ballast system, since it is 6 foot long and 11 inches wide.

I served on the USS Lawrence DDG-4 in the 60’s, so in the wings is a hull and parts I’ve been collecting for a 1/96 Adams Class DDG.  I also have several other projects on the waiting shelf, some day, time permitting I’ll end up with a fleet.
