having a go anyway. I have'nt given up on my Riverboat project, it's just a slow process as I need to learn a lot of things along the way. Currently working on the piston cylinder and govenor assemblies. The Murray River steamers were in the main powered by modified Traction Engine drive trains and boilers. Unfortunately when taking a trip on one of these boats I did'nt take enough photo's of the engine so I'm useing a "Burrell" as a reference and a bit of creativity. Some parts are modelled in Hexagon but in the main it's Bryce. Still having problems UV mapping the deck and hull so if there are any generous volunteers out there!!!!????. S/shots of the piston assembly with close ups of front and rear of the govenor.

And in my final hours - I would cling rather to the tattooed hand of kindness - than the unblemished hand of hate...

Thanks for that to both of you. I could sure use some of those Flying Scotsman textures though,hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
