Damien,
I am out the other side of Ballarat, in Canadian.
Kno3,
Below are some photos of some of my models (hopefully there is, I wasn't too sure on how to add photos to a post).
Most are simple barstock from plans (e.g. Elmer Verburg Designs) or casting/material kits. I usually take a few to exhibit at the Echuca Steam Rally on the Queens Birthday weekend each year (unfortunately not this year for obvious reasons).
My biggest hurdle is usually finding "hobby time" between long work hours and other life activities (and I also have a full size Aveling & Porter Traction Engine).
