This is a real odds & sods boat, a scavanger hunt of parts as this was made on a very tight budget.
She started out as a Elidir Thames Launch-I got the hull...and that's it, no boiler parts no trim, naff all...as you could probably tell this was cheap
So, had a think, had a look at some old steam boats and thought right...I will just hash some bits together and see what comes out.
The boiler is old brass parts, some trim I made, others are old boat parts, some to scale some not, just what might fit and work. Other parts had to be bought.
She is a dirty girl, a real working dame, worn decks dings, dodgy paint repairs etc.
Here are a few pics, she still has a few things to do.
The round brass hatch at the front is a sea water holding tank to keep the lobsters/crabs fresh.
Still got lobster pots to make, the propeller to fit and tidy up a bit.
