In returning to ship modelling, I'm going back, after retirement, to a hobby of my schooldays. Not surprisingly, I'm a bit bemused by changes in materials and equipment since the 1950s.
I've always had a liking for C19th warships, and have taken on a gunboat called "Gayundah" (an aboriginal word for 'lightning') built by Armstrongs in 1884 for the Australian Colony of Queensland. (I am - I hope - attaching a small pic of her present state for those whith a taste for the half-built.)
I came across this site while googling about looking for info on how to deal with twin prop shafts. I quickly came across some useful tips - and liked the friendliness and willingness of members to answer quite basic enquiries. No doubt I shall be posting a few of these myself in due course.
