             Hi to all on this Forum.

              Thank you, for the very nice welcome message, I received when I logged in this morning.

           I am a 55 year old male.  We live in Nubeena, Tasmania, Australia.

           I am a custom fishing rod builder, working from home.

           It is my intention in the next few months, to start building an 8 ft model, (1/3 scale), of an open boat I designed many years ago.   ( i am a boatbuilder).

          The hull will be fibreglass and powered by a suitable electric motor and will also be radio controlled.       Because of my trade, I have been able to collect a lot of genuine boat fittings, close to the correct scale for this model.

             I look forward to sharing my experience on this forum and hopefully learn a lot from the experience I see here.

                           Thank you all.

                                             Paul.           A.K.A.    HOOKEY.

Welcome to the forum :-)) :-)) :-)) Any questions, some one will have the answear O0. I hope you will put a build thread up on the forum when you start your 1/3 scale ship. It should be interesting to see. ;)

       Thank you MARK.

         I will do my best to keep all informed of this project when I get it under way.
