Title: latest member from belgium
Post by: the bombus on August 31, 2011, 06:16:16 PM
First of all i would like to say hi to all the paddlesteamerlovers out there.
unfortunately i'm new to the subject of paddlesteamers but that can be helped i think.
I mostly do rc planes (models before the 1930's).
although i always liked the sternwheelers ,it never came to modelling one :-[.
until a month ago , i came upon the mantua model on the kapaza site
it was already build (altough so xtremly bad ) ,and the price was just right (70€) to push me over to my first steamer adventure.
so , bit by bit i'm taking it apart ( a hard job becaus this guy was in love with glue i think  >:()
i have no problems with the re building whatsoever but i wil ask you people a lot of questions regarding the motor and the paddlewheel transmission( it wil be a electro with a smokegenerator  sound module and the lots )(crew and passengers i wil get from lemax (if they are not to xmaslike that is )
if i made mistakes in my english i'm sorry , dutch is my native language)
enjoy the building and paddle on
