Hello from Oz

[abmbarry]

Good Day to you all.
Just a quick background: Building model boats for about 45 years.
They are all scratch built. I like using timber for the hull's and Tinplate for superstructure and deck where applicable. (Easy to weather with mild acid then airbrush.

Three of my builds are Steam powered, mostly electric some IC.

I have been gathering data on paddle boats for some time, so now it's decision time?

There are a lot of fine examples in the members gallery to entice me to lay the keel down so to speak.
Planed propulsion being Steam, I need to get familiar with the best engine for the chosen hull.

I'm looking forward to a new learning curve.

Just a quick question; I tried to up-load a pic to my gallery and it failed, stating "No Category selected? It didn't allow me to select a category?
