Re: Paddleboxes go where?

amidships to the fore or to the rear, mine look better slightly to the rear, i dont know if this is correct and if it would have an adverse affect on the steering of the vessel...what the hell ..its a static model!

Steve...you're doing a great job on this model...it's really coming together welll...very nice craftsmanship...

 

[steveemmo]

thanks for that mike... i am having alittle trouble with the wheelhouse ..i am tempted to put it up on a third level... i think it may be too much

 

[mikemiller1955]

Steve...just play with it...if it looks top heavy...to the junk pile with the third level...you're doing really nice work with your wood...I'm sure it's a trial and error project...just do what you think looks good...if it all turns out as nice as what you have shown us so far...then you got a winner for sure...

wheelhouse cabin, crew & boiler room portholes, handrails and doors fitted..started to jazz up the paddleboxes a little, and had the steam boiler fitted....good news with this freezing cold weather we`re having. bbrrrr.

Not a side wheeler, but a sternwheeler. At least you can get an idea as to above deck setup..Michael

Go for the 3rd deck...if you don't like it then it can go, but no harm in trying Personally, I think a back wheel would go better, just because the side wheel tends to obscure the beautiful craftsmanship on the boat itself. VERY very Very veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy nice!!!!

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the [awesome Nile steamer]...

 

[steveemmo]

Plumped for this style of wheelhouse...quite a bit more detail work to do yet.. and quite a few rough egdes to sort out but i think it will be nice looking when done

 

[GICOP]

I bet it will look amazing when it is finished

Have a Very Happy Christmas

I think it is a great platform for toy soldiers. Nice work on the boiler too.

 

[steveemmo]

ok, got a few parts ready to assemble now, so here`s a mock up of how everything should look when fastened down.

i love it - have you thought about what figures will fit where yet? I am definitely going to have one very much like it ( if I can find the room) - and I finish what i 've got started etc, etc,. She is a beaut! - johnnybach

still not sure about these paddles, so i`ve posted 2 pics one with paddleboxes 1 without, while i`m at it i am stuck between two funnels, i prefer the black thin one.... but the white broader one keeps nagging at me..
