My name is Wojtek. My hobby is electronics circuits with microcontrollers (Atmel), mechanics cnc routers and rc models (aeroplans, cars). Now I try build steamboat Strongbow.

Hi PD's & welcome to ......rchobby...please read our WEB pages & enjoy the content....any questions .....just ask ....& one our world wide members will help........Derek 

Thank You Derek

Hi PD's.....Eddy...new member Wojtek from Poland lists CNC routers as an interest

We had an OZ member called Bundywrap a few years ago..... he did an excellent & quick build of an American stern wheeler & used a CNC router for detail repetition work....but vessel stability  was the issue

I am not suggesting that Wojtek considers a similar build, but the build detail may be of interest to him.......how do we search on Bundywrap?

Wojtek ...read this thread in all of the associated pages....I think you may find the content interesting from the CNC perspective   

Hello Wojtek and a great welcome to you. Poland possessed a large number of very attractve sidewheel paddle steamers on its rivers and estuaries. At the outbreak of World War 2 most had been converted into river gunboats and hospital ships and served well. One was unique in that it had a twin rotating torpedo tube on its deck !. Maly Modelarz once produced a card kit at 100th scale of a sidewheel passenger steamer but its name escapes me! (Old age!!). In the 1930s Poland also built a Flotilla of small sternwheel armoured minesweepers designed for narrow channels. They were very utilitarean, powered by diesels but would make a very simple unusual model. Regards, Walter.

thank you Walter. Name paddler is "Krakus" Maly Modelarz 1975 no. 11. Here is article about rebuild http://home.mindspring.com/~carapace/
