Well you certainly hit a strong chord with THAT one, Graham...and
you've met our Oz contingent. Thanks to Jim (Stein) we first
learned about the 'Paddlers of Echuca" and WHAT A STORY IT IS...I was
so impressed that I opened a folder in our Bookmarks section
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Paddleducks/links/Bookmarks > PADDLE SHIP RESEARCH CENTRE (3 folders)) > PADDLEWHEELERS
OF AUSTRALIA > PADDLERS OF ECHUCA
If you have any more links to websites dealing with OZ paddlers,
please feel free to post them. What I"d LOVE to see is some pictures
of your card models of "PEVENSEY" and "ADELAIDE"..any chance of you
being able to snag a scan of them..and also where they are available
from so we can put them in our CARD MODELING section? Card modeling is
an equisite art form, and miniature paddlers must lend themselves so
well to this.
> next project will be a European sidewheeler, the "Hjejlen" from
>Billing Boats. I also model flying boats and airliners from the 30's
>in 1/144th
It's a lovely kit...will this be a display model or powered? Please
keep us posted on your progress and also details of your other
paddleship models...
Regards PJ
