Another 'HELLO' from Ohio

**pockets** · #1 07-28-2016, 07:14 AM

I've been reading the forum for many years....just have never posted.
So......"Hello!"

I am currently working on a scratch built 'Rocket Ship Galileo' in 1/190 size.
Heinlein's 1947 book of the same name was my introduction to science fiction novels back in the late 1950s. Always meant to built the ship.

Hello. Lots of SF fans here. Can't remember for sure if I read that Heinlein book or not.

Welcome to the forum and wasn't Heinlein the author of something named "Stranger in a strange land"?

That and many other books and stories.
I'm probably the oddball, in that 'Stranger in a Strange Land' is one of my least favorite Heinlein books. I grok it, I just like a lot of his other works more.

And thank you for the welcome!

Well, while I also grok, it is a very strange book.
