Title: Hello Everyone
Post by: TugBoat on March 09, 2006, 02:07:04 AM
New to the forum. Been modelling as an adult for over 20 yrs now. I like scratch building mainly but I will do a kit now and then. I listed a link to a webshots photo album of 2 models I just unpacked after 5 yrs in the construction forum. The rigging is no longer on the Tug but otherwise the model came through the move ok.
 The sternwheeler has some damage. I lost some of the machinery parts, 2 braces for the paddle support broke off But nothing serious. Why is it movers can't read the "This side up and FRAGILE" on moving boxes?
 Anyways glad to be here. I am always open for advice on these 2 models and any others I will be working on in the future. No thin skin here.
Take care all,
Don

*Edit* I guess it would be nice if I actually included the link so people could see my boats.

Hi Don and welcome,
It's not that they can't read, it's the fact that they can read that is the problem. Movers, Luggage handlers and Mail personal all participate in a secret contest to see how many parts they can reconvert a object into.
