My name is John Aka (Jay Dee) I am 78 years old and retired at 68, a couple of years before retiring I started building a 1.5M model of the Robert E Lee paddle steamer with steam, 6 months after retiring I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and was undergoing chemo for 6 months bought the modelling to a stop for a while then my 1st wife passed away and although nearly finished I associated the boat with to many bad memories so I eventually sold it. Recently after remarrying and settling in Mornington Victoria Australia I have completed my dream man cave and have got the modelling bug back again I still have the plans for the paddle steamer, but I also have the plans for the steam sailing ship Greta. This is what my new thread is going to be about I have had a bit of a learning curve for my Lazer cutter but I have the hang of it now so it is full steam ahead, sorry no steam engine in this one all electric i'm afraid no where around here to use steam anymore not many clubs around here either. I have been busy cutting items for the boat it will be about 110cm long. This is going to be a slow build as i only get about 45minutes a day on it so don't wait around with baited breath longing for the next post. I will only post when I have something to show. Good to see a few other Aussies on here too.

welcome . i am new to this group and doing my first boat a Riva aqua , really interesting watching other posts and get a lot of help too
