Deutz_RVBM_545 Posted November 22 #1 Posted November 22 Hello, my name is Antonio, but you can call me Toni. I am 22 years old, first-time builder, but have been interested in model ship building since I was a small kid. Since my father made a "model" of a tanker ship when I was just 7 years old, watching him made me want to make my own model and develop my own skills, but sadly, I never really got into it. Now, at 22, I think I'll have a nice "weekend" hobby to play with. I have managed to acquire some blueprints from a local shipyard here in Croatia (yes, I am from the far country of Croatia!), which in my model ship building club is considered "a miracle", mainly because privatized shipyards don't want to give out the plans for ship just like "that"...but anyhow, I am planning to make a R/C model of one small ship from 1958, made in Yugoslavia, of course. I have made the proper preparations so far and I looking forward to making that model. Excuse my English if it isn't perfect! P.S. If you're wandering about my username / nick, it's one of my favorite marine engines in existence - the Deutz RVBM 545! mtaylor, chris watton and SiriusVoyager 3 Quote
