On old mate of mine is looking for scale drawings to build a horse drawn wool truck or wagon. My research led me to a web site that features these vehicles, including "tips and ideas". In that site reference is made to a model builder who calls himself "Radish", and lives in Brisbane and has built this very model. In spite of much research, I cannot find any contact details for "Radish". Is there any one out there that knows of this person? I would like to contact him to see if there are plans available for such a vehicle.
There is two of us who will be very grateful for any help...
Thanks in advance.

I cannot find any contact details for "Radish".
I went to school in Longreach with a bloke called "Radish."
His real name was Russell Ivers, try that, you never know your luck.
