The Modelengineeringinthailand.Com Website Has Been Massively Updated This Week

Creating Free Time Where None Existed Before

I have found a way to actually create free time where none existed before!

I’ll maybe let you into my secret on that one day but what it means to you and to Model Engineering in Thailand is that with this new-found free time I have been able to spend time on the website and bring it up to date.

Well, kind of. I still have a stack of photos and videos to illustrate the articles I have yet to write. If I actually managed to write all those articles and incorporate the media it would be a full time job. And that’s without updating the RetiringInThailand.net website!

A List Of All New Updates Since The Last Announcement List Email

Here are the major updates:-

Massive updates to the ModelEngineeringInThailand.com website including a Guests section featuring Guests models, workshop equipment, motorcycles etc.
