A wee bit of colour changes the whole look.

At this point I want to say I am really enjoying the build process. I have so far built it pretty much to the plans and it is turning out okay. For a first build, I’m quite pleased with how it looks. Sure, it’s no master class. But I have to remember not to get too caught up by how awesome other builds are.

Patience and perseverance is a virtue, if you stay the course long enough you will become a Virtuoso

Hi, what a nice workshop you have. Fabulous work as well.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Karel Polman I live in Auckland and was forced to retire due to bad health. And of course the Covis 19 Lock-down does not help.

I used to do some bout building many years ago ut had to give it away, due to work commitments and bad health.

 I originally came from Holland and worked as a Marine Insurance Inspector working mainly with small crafts, river boats and tugs etc.

 I love Tugboats and work boats in general , Currently I am setting up my workshop to  be able to start doing this great hobby again.

I was a fervent sailor, Ocean racing and lots of Local sailing in NZ

I made some models which were all passed on to family members as gifts. 

The NRG website is a great resource that I will gratefully tap into.

Thanks for accepting me as a member.
