Hi There.

I am a great eastern steamship fan.... got lots of books on the subject and started a model about 10 years ago..... never got beyond the hull. Will finish it one day.

Welcome to Paddleducks Tempest - I hope we can rekindle your interest in the Great Eastern, or perhaps in another paddler?

The Great Eastern is a ship that I admit I know very little about, but a couple of our members do have an interest in it, so hopefully they will respond soon?

Regards
Eddy

Thanks for the welcome Eddy.... appreciate it. Yes i am looking forward to hearing from any "great eastern" fans. I have several books and a bit of knowledge on the subject - so am here to help if i can. I would appreciate seeing any modellers pics of the ship too..... i am looking to get "fired up again" so to speak.
