This will be my second post here as I've already added a post in the general section about the Amati Dorade Yacht kit. I've received one very informative response already.
I live on the North Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, in Sequim (e is silent). I build models to keep my hands busy, and I refurbish computers to keep my mind busy. I'm a member of a computer club that is an official Microsoft refurbisher. We take donated computers and install Windows 7 and give them to people and groups that need computers, but can't afford them.
I've built four boats so far two are Thunder Tiger kits, one is a Dumas Huson 24 with the wooden hull and my last build was a Canterbury J. The Thunder Tiger China Team was modified to resolve many of the problems the kit has.
