Hello everybody! I just decided to join this great group of modellers - some of you may reconize me from the clubhouse or digital Dioramas. I was in the navy for almost 10 years - 2nd class Boatswainmate so I guess my title would look like this-
John Fields BM2(SW)USN RET.
I was stationed on the USS Puget Sound AD -38, then shore duty at the deperming crib and then precommisioned the USS Laboon DDG 58. so if you have any Navy questions fire away! I'm a big fan of military history and sci fi - I build military sci fi and figures as well. I won the IPMS nats. in VA beach in 1996 in the sci fi dio category and have won 34 first place in regional and local modelling events. I built my first model (jolly green giant HH-3) at my Dad's elbow when I was six and have not stopped since ( that was 1966). I'l try to answer any questions and share 30 years of model building. I am currently working on -
1/72 Revell U- boat
1/35 ? snowspeeder
revell USS lionfish 9 converting to look lioke a mid war GATO
Polar lights Enterprise and Klingon ship
Lindberg PT- 80' ELCO converted to accurate portrayal of PT 107
