2 forum posts | Good evening folks, I am Nathan Ollett from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and I am looking to pursue an interest in model engineering. My father Joe had a keen interest in this past time and spent many hours in his workshop making miniature engines. I work as a design engineer for a company in Brandon which make glazing products and using CAD is something I love in work time and outside work. Back in 2013 I modelled up onecof dad's oscillating machines in 3D. Sadly dad passed away in 2014 and want to carry on the interesting hobby of model engineering as sonething for me. I am lucky to be able to design and build. I look forwardcto hearing from everyone. |
