I mentioned my uncle in my introduction post (New member to the forum) who is truly the source of my inspiration for ship modeling. My goal is to one day have the skill to emulate his accomplishments with a build worthy of a display case and possibly a show award as he often achieved. I am fortunate to have two of his models now in my possession as family heirlooms, displayed in pride of place in the library. Finding his modeling journal from his early years of modeling was a wonderful discovery! A couple photos follow of models he built dating to just before and then after WWII. Enjoy.
