Wacom Posted July 27, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2019 Joined up a couple of weeks ago so thought I had better say Hi. A life long modeller building models ranging from ships to helicopters. Since retiring I have kept busy building a live steam traction engine. This project should be finished in 18 months or so, in the meantime I am indulging in researching which ship kit to see me into my dotage (a few years yet I hope) A Chris Hatton design seems t be the front runner at present.

pontiachedmark Posted July 28, 2019 Share #6 Posted July 28, 2019 Gidday Reg and another warm welcome from the Land Downunder. It is good to welcome another member from the Antipodes. You have found a site where the members possess a wealth of technical knowledge and expertise. If you have not already may I suggest a browse through the build log section. This may assist in your research for a suitable modelling subject. I wish you all the best in your endeavours. Mark. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
