 Hello,
 I'm new here, my first post. I've been on RCGroups.com for quite a while. I'm in Tennessee, USA and I'm 68 years old. I've been building models of one kind or another for about 60 years with several breaks along the way. I now concentrate on electric scale models, not go-fast anymore even though many years ago I drove outboard racing boats. My eyes and reflexes can't keep up with little blurs flying around a pond anymore. I'm finishing up a 4 foot Mississippi river boat soon, I hope, and will post some pics if I can figure out how. I only work with wood. I don't like plastic boats, although all wood kits are getting rarer and rarer. To me the build is the enjoyment. I don't need today's instant gratification. Nice to "meet" you all. I'll be back.
 p.s. That's a 1958 John Deere model 420t tractor, another toy.

Hello and welcome to our club.

3000th member eh!  What an honour  ;) :-))

I too would be interested in pictures of your River boat as I fancy making one as well.

Get the your kettle on and settle down for a long read through our site.  :}
