:yipee :fencing USS England, in Her Final Show appearance, recieved a Third Place award, amongst expert Ship Modelers. I could not feel more Honored, to be recognized by my peers, as She passes to Her USN Vet. recipient.
Rachel bought Her, all I did was put it together, and have a good time! :drinks

R.J.'s reaction was first one of disbelief. Out of character, I managed to keep my mouth shut about this project for the whole 2 years it took to complete it. Then it sank in, that this model ship, was a GIFT for him, to honor his Service to a grateful Nation, and he began to tell me about his time aboard USS England. He bear-hugged me off my feet, and told me he'd be taking the model to Mobile, AL. for his ship's reunion in October, this year.
It was Scott's idea, My sweetie bought the kit, all I did was put it together, and paint it. (and cast the radars, and make the decals. model stuff) I didn't do one special thing.
I'd encourage anyone, to present an Honor Model to a Veteran. You have less stuff to dust, it frees up shelf space, and the reactions I've had so far, mostly, defy description, and are a treasure to me. Make it for Someone!
