Hi guys,
I have been modeling rc boats for 16 years. I have a few projects in the works right now a hellen and a pushboat.

 I am in the US Navy onboard a CVN I was on the USS NASSAU and worked at the Oceana Naval Air Station for a while. I have been in for 10 years 7 of which has been spent on sea duty.

I prefer working boats fishing vessels cargo ships etc, building a warship seem a bit blah to me since I live on one. My son does want me to build a destroyer so I guess thats going to happen lol. my first boat was a Billings boats coastboat Bent I would love to find another, several models fell victim to the xwifes car during the divorce >>:-( but I am building my fleet back up now and look forward to being a part of the forums here.

Welcome aboard Hazegry

We would love to see some of your models as well.

What is a CVN, there are many of us on here who are unfamilair with US Navy terminology?

When you are ashore, where is hometown? There may be other Mayhemers near you.

Regards
Mark
