About
Retired in 2020, I always had an interest in RC model boats and decided to get active in the hobby in retirement
Signature
So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.
