Hello all,
As a new member to Model Boat Mayhem, it’s a pleasure to be able to interact and utilize resources of extremely talented people.
As my name implies I’m originally from Australia, Sydney but don’t hold that against me. I moved to and am living in Houston Texas, for over 20 years now but still an Aussie at heart.
I love building RC models, most of which were planes here in the US. I say were as my flying skills left much to be desired! Sooner or later terra firma took over then it was back to my enjoyment… building.
Back in Australia I built several boats, one gas powered speedy called “The Mongoose” that was fun until the Noise Ordinance Police shut that down, and then came the electrics.
I have always been interested in Tug boats, with a live steam plant. My New Year’s Resolution is to build the Christiaan Bruning from Deans Marine, with of course a twin steam power plant. This won’t be a fast project as that four letter word, “Work” tends to eat up most of my time and also them “Honey Doo’s” account for its fare share, if you know what I mean.
Sorry about getting a little carried away here. I am real excited about this Forum, and will consider this to be a two way communication.
Best regards,
Geoff.

Welcome Mate,
This is the crazy world of Mayhem, seriously though you can get a lot of information of the members, just ASK.
As to regards the Aussies taking over, how many Geordies do you have down under?
Good on you mate!

How many Geordies do you have down under?
I have absolutely no idea, but I'm sure there are quite a few O0 I just don't happen to know any :-) I have quite a few English friends, but most of them come from south of the Humber.
