I suggest we all hold a seance..... Is there anybody there??

My god it's been quiet on here recently, did everyone leave without telling me? ;)

I agree with you Eddie,
I call in about four or five times a day. Its been like a mortuary.
Even the Aussies are quiet, which is unusual for them.
That should stir them up.

Hellooooooow,
Still here just feel half dead. Haven't been able to do much work on the models lately.
Regards,
Gerald

:hmmm ...I thought the land line must have been  :crash near the equator or something...but as our colleague Bogstandard knows I have been  :hammer  :ohno  :clap away & working on Decoy's new engine mounting.....

The two X two holes as seen in the new frame were actually from a MELT down... :arrow:  :wink:

Got you there Derek.
My ancestor was called Percival John Moore and did a runner around 1913, never to be seen again. I suppose he could have gone to Oz and got eaten by the natives (not the aborigines).
BTW this one can get to 22.

At least we convicts  :yeah knew our place in society & kept our Monolopy "Get out of Jail" cards for handy reference....whilst working on the hulls of paddle wheelers in OZ as opposed to rotting in the HULKS   :rant on that river Thames :offtopic ..................................... :hehe  :music

Does Seance happen to translate into: lack of Sean...

Sorry I've been incredibly busy with school and other hobbies, haven't been to Echuca in a looooooooong time, and haven't even laid eyes on Grebe either, let alone the forum.

I have managed to stage a stage show and film a short webseries parodying shows like The Sopranos amongst other things in my leave.

However, now school is almost over, which gives me some time (well after exams) and then I shall 'launch' back into some paddler stuff again, including Grebe.

Meanwhile, I have to post some slightly more updated posts of a model I made and our private 'wharf'.

Looking forward to being back on deck.

Sean
