Hello from Perth, Western Australia.
« on: June 07, 2018, 09:24:15 AM »
Well ....I have made it here.So far so good.
I am from little ol Perth in Western Australia....coming up to early retirement next year if all goes well.
I am a Panel Beater by trade & have restored many vehicles, but is a very expensive  hobby & you need somewhere to store & maintain them. So I have chosen to go with model boats as I really enjoy building Steam Engines.
I started acquiring my machines & tooling about 6 years ago & I'm just about there.
Part of my apprenticeship years ago was learning to use Fibreglass & this has been an asset with the model boat hulls.
Anyway I'm going to try to post a new article....

 :hi:

Are you thinking about building any specific model steam engines for your boat?

Hello Corrado, will be pleased to see any pictures that you may have of your boat models when you are ready to post:  also any details of the workshop, always a topic of interest to most members I think.  Dave
