I just thought it would be nice idea to have a section for steam Boat/boat engines to see what people are doing with there boats and to get ideas for installation's. there are not that many pictures of that type on the forum. Peter

When I first saw threads on steam I thought this would be a bit to complex and difficult in engineering terms for a dolt like me. ::)
As well as being potentially expensive.

But looking at some of the electric threads I can see that steam is a viable option. It also has a certain character and charm of its own. And probably no more of a risk of yer boat catching fire.

.
You don't even need a smoke generator.

It is something that I could seriously consider.
Keep the pictures coming please.

I downloaded a page of flags from the Internet, scaled them, printed them off on normal paper, painted them with matt varnish, cut them out and folded them up. Then I inserted the correct flags in the correct holes so that the visible colours would be correct.

Similarly the charts are all real charts, of the Irish Sea of course, downloaded, scaled and printed, varnished and attached to the chart table and shelf and on the rear bulkhead is a map of Europe.

Cheers Bunker.I had quite good results cutting balloons and folding and rolling them up...looked nice in 1/32scale...ofcoarse I was not able to match colours.

Hi Bunkerbarge

I see you have a really nice windlass (or winch) on the fore deck.
Did you buy this or fabricate it yourself?

If you fabricated it can you say how it was achieved please?

TT

Bunkerbarge · « **Reply #8 on:** May 24, 2007, 11:06:02 am »

The windlass came with the kit and is made of a number of white metal castings. You assemble it with the supplied rod, paint it up and mount it on the model. I have done a little bit of weathering experimentation with it and will be doing a bit more when it is finally secured to the ship.

I won't be doing that, or adding any detail fittings until all the structural work is finished as it is too easy to damage stuff like that during construction.

Oh, and before anyone tells me the hawse pipe shrouds are on the wrong way round, I know and they aren't fixed on!

Hi Guys

Great pictures, keep them coming. Excellent thread to start HS93, I am not sure I am ready to get my fingers burnt but it is definitely a thought for the future.

Some fabulous models there Bernhard and some very nice steam plant set ups. The weathered African Queen makes for an interesting contrast with the pristine Lady Jane.

Do you have any shots of them on the water? Steam models always come into thier own making a nice vapour cloud on a cold day.
