    Hi JB,
    Good thing the barge and tug have very little draft.
    Great videos. πŸ‘

    Great result JB,
    Like you said she doesn't want to turn too well.

    At least everyone went home no sinkings. 😁

    Yeah that would be great but it's a bit far JB,

    I hope it is a good show, there is going to be a portable pond setup for operating small boats.

    I'll probably put up some pics after the show.

    Cheers,
    Stephen.

    I know this will only apply to people who are relativity local but for the first time in a few years.

    Train and Hobbies Show 2023.

    Next weekend Labour day weekend at Sandown Racecourse, Melbourne, Australia, 11th to 13/03/2023.

    This looks like an interesting show more geared around working models I think, I have never attended this show before there will be some boats there.

    I thought I would put it out there that I will be exhibiting my Trawler on the Sunday only.

    Cheers,
    Stephen.

    Hi RR,

    You have done a great job on the paint-work. πŸ‘

    Well you asked for it, IMHO a bit too busy with the coloured dots, love the purple and black though.

    Cheers,
    Stephen.

    That's a bloody lot of water JB,
    Hopefully you were high and dry so to speak.
    Certainly questionable driving through that water, good way to get yourself into a lot of difficulty quickly.

    Stay safe,
    Cheers,
    Stephen.

    For some reason I am unable to open private messages, when I click on the "messages" tab it goes to messages but then I am unable to see anything.
    Now that I am writing this I have just tried again and for some reason the messages have opened, bit perplexing.
    I haven't used private messages since the last update.

    Cheers,
    Stephen.

    Hi Graham,
    Great resalt, some tweaking required but you expected to need to make some adjustments.
    Looking forward to the next installment.

    Hi Graham,
    I cannot add to what others have said, however this is a wonderfully realistic build that has come to the testing phase.

    Terrible news, I am deeply shocked and saddened with this news. I can only mirror what others have said and acknowledge how Martin was a friend to all. A most welcoming, knowledgeable and with a great sense of humor.
    My sympathy to his family.
    May he rest in peace.

    Hi Gary,
    I am recovering quite well thanks.
    SWMBO has more of a long term problem, though there is some small improvement.
    I like the mirror idea...
