Title: Introducing myself rvb48
Post by: rvb48 on October 20, 2014, 05:46:57 AM
Originally from Antwerp, Belgium. but leaving now on the South Shore of Montréal, close to the St-Lawrence Seaway.  Married for 32 years to a Québecer.
Sailed as a marine engineer for about 15 years deepsea and 15 years on the Great Lakes plus about 15 years ashore as a Marine Surveyor,
Retired since 2010, started model boat building.  My Grandson came  to see me with a small book about paddlewheelers running from Brighton that his dad bought in the UK.
So that is why I will be looking for some info from you all.

Have a nice day

Nice to have you aboard there's lots of knowledgeable model builders to answer your questions.
