Hi PD's.....Eddy...new member Wojtek from Poland lists CNC routers as an interest

We had an OZ member called Bundywrap a few years ago..... he did an excellent & quick build of an American stern wheeler & used a CNC router for detail repetition work....but vessel stability  :ranting was the issue

I am not suggesting that Wojtek considers a similar build, but the build detail may be of interest to him.......how do we search on Bundywrap?

Hello Wojtek and a great welcome to you. Poland possessed a large number of very attractve sidewheel paddle steamers on its rivers and estuaries. At the outbreak of World War 2 most had been converted into river gunboats and hospital ships and served well. One was unique in that it had a twin rotating torpedo tube on its deck !. Maly Modelarz once produced a card kit at 100th scale of a sidewheel passenger steamer but its name escapes me! (Old age!!). In the 1930s Poland also built a Flotilla of small sternwheel armoured minesweepers designed for narrow channels. They were very utilitarean, powered by diesels but would make a very simple unusual model. Regards, Walter.
