Hi all
Just found this forum when googling for info on John Smith organs.
I see you have a really good thread going on them ,GREAT STUFF!!
I would like to introduce myself
I am 68 years young and have quite a wide variety of interests, such as woodturning ,dolls house fittings ,model horse drawn wagons, Model boats(static and racing).
I have recently finished a John smith busker organ and that was one of the best and most enjoyable projects that i have done ,this has whetted my appetite to do the Topsy 3, but am a little unsure if i can do the electronic part as that is not something that I am very familiar with,I will join in the thread soon if thats OK with you.
Cheers

I seem to be late to the party, but welcome to the family Graham!!!
Could a light person actually ride on one of those boats? They are fantastic! All of your pictures show excellent attention to detail but the wagons catch my eye. Those are just outstanding!!!!!! :thumb::thumb: In fact, the covered wagon makes me nervous as it looks dangerously close to the edge!:eek:
 
Welcome to the family Graham. Good to have more guys from Kiwi Land around here.

Even if you can play good rugby.:rofl: and not football and cricket instead of baseball......well i dont know about your cricket team???
