I guess that I should have scrolled down here the first day I joined. I didn’t realize this section was here til now. I hereby introduce myself.
My name is Lee. I have been modeling on and off for 43 years. I grew up on SAC bases and joined the Navy in 1972 ,just in time to make the last Vietnam deployment of USS Ranger (CVA-61). I was stationed on USS Theodore E. Chandler (DD 717) and USS Lexington (CVT-16) prior to ending my enlistment in 76. I started a Navy civil service career in Guam and then transferred to Norfolk Naval Shipyard in 1981 where I have been ever since. I have no real preference in the type of model I build other than that I find armor easier because it doesn’t have to be as perfect as aircraft or ships. Mud can cover a lot of flaws!
A friend showed me a copy of Fine Scale Modeler in 1993 that sparked a long dormant urge to build models again and so I did. Thanks FSM! And now, thanks to the internet, I have found a fantastic new source of ideas and inspiration especially in this forum. After reading your submissions here, I know that I have found the motherload of genius that I have been seeking. Thank you for being here. Lee Barrows

Hello Lee, Welcome to the forum.
welcom to FSM. enjoy posting!
Welcome to the forums, Lee! Lots of people to learn from here (as i’m sure you know), so don’t be shy and keep the questions comming! [:)]
Thank you for the warm welcome, I really feel at home. I just hope that I may eventually be of some help to someone out there. I can maybe be of help if there are any questions concerning US Navy ships as I am on board them everyday. Mostly subs and CVNs and get deep into their guts.
Welcome aboard Lee. Enjoy what FSM has to offer.
