Modeling the USS Sampson in 1/700 scale : I served aboard the USS Sampson in 1963.  She was of the Charles F. Adams Class of guided missile destroyer commissioned in June 1961 and decommissioned in June 1991.  In keeping with the upcoming reunion of Sampson shipmates, I decided to model this ship in the popular 1/700 scale, and chronicle the steps taken to a finished product.

Modeling the DH 4A : The Last civil DH.4A was produced by the A.V. Roe company for Instone Airline Ltd, receiving its certificate of airworthiness on Feb 19, 1920 as a DH-4 and as a DH-4A in Feb 1921.

Atlanta Model Figure Show : Held over the week-end of 2/24/2007, the Atlanta Model Figure Show was attended by Pelikan members Robert Raver, Robert Marquinez, Robert Semler, Eddie Robert (myself, acting as an honorary Robert), Ed Brut and Joe Bivona.  Held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Marietta, this show was truly an inspiring sight to behold.  Several photos not seen here had to be discarded due to the out-of-focus image caused by low light no flash camera shake, but this is good representation of the fine quality to be found in the show entries.  We all had a great time and it was well worth the trip.
