I am a brand new Model Marina member and look forward to learning a lot about a subject I am acutely interested in, even as I approach my 7th decade.
One reason is to share a vast modeling resource http://www.scale-modelers-handbook.com I have been working on for the past two years which now has over 270 pages written by myself and other modelers I have come to respect.
I just returned from Hawaii a couple of weeks ago where I visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial. It was quite a moving experience. I purchased a Revell kit of the USS Arizona at the Memorial store with the intent of building a quality model.
In researching this project I have found an almost disdain for the model based on quality and age (characteristics not far removed from my own) and this established a real challenge.
I am going to build the kit into a diorama and do it as the basis for an online tutorial of this build on my website. It starts at:

If you get a chance, stop by and let me know what you think.
