Thanks,
I haven't been here for a while, I suppose too much work over the past few years. When I took voluntary redundancy in late 1992, I became self-employed at building model ships and writing. Since then I have completed 236 models and am currently working on the 237th. I turned 65 earlier this year and decided to practically retire. I am still building models for my own pleasure and my wife assists by painting the seas. I am enjoying it as a hobby once again, so you should be seeing more of me. I have been looking for a model forum to settle into and remembered that I was here at the start. Spent a couple of days racking my brains to remember my user name and password - came up with the correct ones yesterday.

Peter,
I probably was, I wrote regularly for them about that time, but they suddenly "went off me" They didn' say anything, but took to accepting articles but never publishing them, so I stopped sending them in 1979!
I now write regualrly for MODEL SHIPWRIGHT, but they have just stopped quarterly publication and gone on to annual.
