Greg G Posted December 9, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 9, 2021 Hi I'm from Queensland Australia . I now retied and have time to get back in model ship building again . I'm starting of with a 1/24 scale Murray Paddlesteamer P.S . Pevensey also known as the "Philadelphia " from The television mini-series 'All the Rivers Run' . I have a set of the drawings from Float A Boat in Melbourne. and will try to do the parts in Fusion 360 for CNC cutting and 3D printing . Still learning Fusion 360 So it should be fun to learn what to do in Fusion 360 for a old guy like me . I hope to get some tips on what to do here .

Charles Green Posted December 9, 2021 Share #4 Posted December 9, 2021 Hello Greg and Welcome: During WWII, my Dad fought in the Battle of Milne Bay in Eastern New Guinea. Consequently, I have great interest in that part of the world. Coming from Queensland, may I ask of your knowledge of the Torres Straight and types of vessels used to navigate that water?

Louie da fly Posted December 13, 2021 Share #12 Posted December 13, 2021 Hi Greg and welcome to MSW from sunny Ballarat. I used to live in Mildura on the Mighty Murray, and there were several paddlers there (though only one was steam powered). I've got a Murray River paddlesteamer on my wish list for some future model (but I may never make it - there are so many other amazing ships to build I may never get around to it). But I hope you start a build log for your model - I'd dearly like to see it taking shape. All the Rivers Run. Ah, memories - John Waters and Sigrid Thornton, eh?
