Just a note to introduce myself - I'm Tony Tritschler from Bungendore NSW which is a small village about 25Km outside of Canberra. I'm relatively new to ship modelling although I have fond memories of building and "sailing" a couple of hydroplanes powered by a 1.5cc Frog diesel over 50 years ago, ( I still have that little engine). That was when I was living on the NE coast, West Hartlepool. For the last 40 odd years we've lived in Australia, at present on a 45 acre "hobby farm".
I'm currently building a model drifter from scratch. At this stage the hull is completed and fibreglassed and I'm about to sort out placement of battery, servos motor etc. Progress at times is slow, like most retirees, life seems busier than it was when I was working.
I've already found the forum useful looking up the building of scale trawlers etc
Thank you for the welcome
Tony Tritschler
