H Folks the handle Grayone should probaly change to White one as most of the gray has long gone.  I normally live in the North of England (not far fro Middleton St George and I must try to find the clud there).  For now I spend most of my time working in Kazakhstan but plan to retire fairly soon.
Hopefully by the time this happens my workshop should be built and I will get the chance to un pack all of the goodies I have amassed (I'm a Proxxon fan)
Got into model boats some 40 years ago but with a growing familiy it sort of hibernated.  My model interest has been resurected and while at the moment I have more helicopters than boats that will shortly change.
Got a Robbie Dusseldorf to build and my eye on a set of Stuart casting for maybe a paddler.  Have also been reading up on the built from junk twin of Bogstandard and may have a go at that first.

So hello to all of you good folks - Grayone (AKA Graham)

Hi PD's.....& welcome grayone ...you must lead a complex international life...but then we as PD members on the world wide front do also 

I see you are reading from John Moore [bogstandard] & also Proxxon which are both great recommendations
