Hello

[Red Dex]

Just want to say hello and thank you for letting me join, main interest are ships, having spent most of my working life at sea , at the moment my project is the Trumpeter 1/200 Sovremenny class destroyer.

Welcome to the madhouse Derek....oh and watch out for our resident pyromaniac....

In all seriousness, good to have you aboard. Not made a boat/ship in 35+ years but plenty of floaty people on here!!

Would be good to see a build thread!!

Welcome from me too Derek.

As my good buddy Andrew writes "Plenty of floaty people on here." I'm one that leans that way!

Derek,
welcome to the forum! I spent 12 odd years of my early life in the Merchant Navy - there's another forum member who is Chief Officer on a product carrier, but he's at sea presently. I've been making ships off & on for many years - including some on this forum, lots of advice, ask away, and enjoy yourself

Welcome aboard Derek, currently dabbing in the floaty things myself. You'll find many other interesting genres in the sections that are interesting and may have tips that can be helpful even in ship building.

Cheers,
Richard.
