Strangelove

Hello there John and other folks (ladies and gentlemen, buoys and girls, bald headed babies and convertibles),
Well, John. I Googled <Breguet 730> and this site was listed as having photos of the beast. I have a 'thing' about seaplanes and flying boats. Decided I ought to join as I have an interest in all kinds of scale models, although my own efforts have been rather modest in recent years... Currently pondering completing a 1/48th Catalina, which I started 10 years ago (strewth! how time flies), as I stumbled upon some neat Trans Australian Airways (TAA - the friendly way) transfers for an aircraft that operated between Australia and New Guinea in the 1950s and 60s. I have a few incomplete 1/35 artillery and half-track models waiting to be painted... just nice to have 3D representations of these things to cast the eye over... very interested in relationship between form and function. Additional prompt was looking through a recent copy of Model Engineer at a friend's place, which featured some incredibly complex working scale models of aero engines, including a 16 cylinder Bristol Hydra radial.
So there you have it. Excuse me... time to browse...

Hello all... I found this site accidently, (or serendipitously) while looking for advice on working with brass sheet. The more I read (and missed out on photos) the more I became interested. I model n-scale trains and am currently drafting a plan to build a late 1800's snow plow. Realistically I do a lot more CAD work than actual building (I live in a small apartment) but it keeps me busy and interested... So, there you go. I look forward to more conversations and more research...

I found your site through a link in a topic on RCMF.

I was doing a little research on model jet engines when a Google search threw up the posting on this forum about the Frenchman flying on two model engines.
I had a look round the site, and since I used to be into scale model aircraft in my younger days I decided to join and see what the state of the hobby is now!

I was looking for RC submarine info, and somehow stumbled across it. Not sure where the link came from, though.

I would just like to say thanks to JOHN for the new members info

Typed in Google....plastic model makers forums.....

I came to find this Forum through GoodSearch. I was trying to find some sites where I could get some ideas on scratch building. This was one of the sites that came up. This is one of mthe better forums that I have been on.
