Hi all, thanks for accepting me into your group, Iam a 73 year old engineer my interest is in restoration of veteran motorcycles however after my recent visit to the Falkirk museum as studying the model of the Charlotte Dundas steam boat I've made up my mind to try and replicate ( hopefully) in a scale around one metre in length, as it's a famous steam boat I thought that obtaining detailed plans would be available even just for the construction of the hull sadly not that I can find, any help would be appreciated. Thanks David.
