    Newbie from down under

    HI all with the help from Chris (Boatman onto this forum, , joined on Saturday , my hobby interest is model trains and always interested in model boats as well, I also have other projects I will share as I go along, the next is aircraft, the 737 fuselage first started it's life on the rails from West to East coast of America, have built a 737/700 out of cardboard and some plaster, will post some pics later , .

    The project I am working on now is a Ro, Ro ship has 4 cargo decks , the ships name is Corona Sea, I fell in love with the design a few years back and managed to get hold of some DWG plans , the ships hull is nearly finished, see out of 1 mm cardboard, will be a part of my layout, only a water line model , I plan to build a second RC model later this build is a learning curve.

    I have already stated a thread in model ships under construction and post pics of my build in different stages, she is 2.160 metres in length and a 305 mmm beam is about 14 inches high for the water line, I look forward to joinin in on other threads.

    I live in SE/QLD down under.., hope every is copping ok from this bad virus we have tough restrictions here an't travel .

                Tony,
                welcome to the forum - there are a wide range of models being blogged, and looking at builds of things you wouldn't dream of making, can give you new ideas & new techniques - maybe even try something out of your comfort zone!
                Keep Safe
                Dave
