Re: Model ships ------- re new member intro

       Hello David;
 
                           Thank you for your good wishes.  I do not make much money selling my work, but I was never recognized as an atrist by a lot of the big shots in the business for years.  Only recently have I gotten any real recognition.  I may be one of these "overnight successes" who took 30 years to get there!
        At the very few craft fairs where I go, I am highly regarded and much appreciated.  I suppose that I could do much better financially if I let others sell for me, but this would take the pleasure away from me that I get from meeting real fans or just people who like me and my things.  I expecially like the young people and the kids who still like this sort of thing.  It is nice to see that some of them still have their own Imaginations. 
          As for getting me on the Messenger, I can be found at my e mail address of aza52us@....  If you ask the Messenger, they might add me to your list. 
 
                         Herb

Hi Herb: Many thanks for your email and group message.
As i  Mentioned in members details , i live in wollongong ,nsw australia. my favorite form of model building is matchsticks,buy a pack of preparded matchsticks in bulk works out cheaper than buying a kit. currently , working on hms victory ,(weekly magazine ),up to the rigging stage, finished a model of a mississippi river boat built with matchsticks ,no real problems there, though ,building the stern wheel was a challange, also, building the tower of london with matchsticks,big project,been working on it for  one year now. Am wifes carer so have plenty of time to kill, do volunteer work with community centre & also the red cross personal support service,(we only get called out when theres  a need for evac centres) i am the local deputy team leader.
also into cross stitch . (taught myself) family history, collect teaspoons ,hat pins.
hope your health improves soon.
do you make much money from selling your models?

wishing you and your family a very happy easter
