Hi all,
I would just like to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I am live in Darlington in the UK and
although I have done a bit of aero modelling, many years ago, I am just starting in Model boats. Just
coming up to retirement age so hoping to have lots of time on my hands.
I recently bought a Thunder Tiger Odyssey mrp yacht to get me on the water but it is not in very good
condition and really needs a good overhaul. I have tried getting sail makers to give me a price but none
have answered my emails up to now.
On the shelf I have a Kyosho Seawind yacht kit which I am looking forward to getting on the water then
the Odyssey can go into dry dock. I have also just had delivered a Revell 1.72 scale Snowberry Corvette
which I am going to convert to RC, so expect plenty of questions from me about that build when it starts.
I have already read quite a lot of articles on the site about this conversion so again looking forward to the
start of that build. I have also started to scratch build an ELCO MTB PT109 which is at an early stage at the
moment, just coming to the end of the planking stage. This is from a site I found on the web but I think it is
a Glynn Guest copy which as been modified.
I am amazed at the amount of information that is on this site and it is already helping me with decisions on
what I need for my models.
So hope to be a regular contributor to the site
Fred
