Hi There,

I am from Ontario, Canada. Currently I am working on miniature ( 1/8 and 1/12 scale ) horse drawn wagons as well as a couple of small, stationary steam engines.

I have always been interested in the art of making things from paper, and following some of the threads here I can plainly see that the hobby has progressed some since I last looked at it. (30 years ago )

The day is quickly coming when I will have to let go of all of the big wood working equipment, but I don't want to stop building, so I am looking at this as an alternative.

Cheers,

Tom

Welcome! Do you have photos of some of your wagons and steam engines? More importantly, would you care to share any photos?

Welcome aboard! The paper scraps are a lot easier to clean up than sawdust (and you can work in the house - subject to "SHE who'd like to see less clutter around here").

Thanks for the welcome.
I have done some more reading here and I can't believe these items are made of card and paper!! I will be having a go as soon as I get some ink for the printer.

Vermin_King, unfortunately I am still recovering from a massive computer melt down, so no photos of past projects. There were no finished wagon pics as I just started a couple of those a few months ago. They will be another six months or so in the finishing.

The engines are all gone except for the wooden beam engine I am currently working on.

I am just recovering from eye surgery so it will be a few weeks yet before I get back at the bigger projects. I will post pics in the "Other things we make" thread as I progress if that is allowed.

Cheers,

Tom
