The next model scratch-build has been decided.
I am going for the Sternwheeler paddle boat called the Creole Queen and have already started my research. There is a kit manufactured by Dumas in America, but I want to completely make it myself.
To this end I have been researching (with the help of Mr Google) all the pictures and data that I can find, on the Web. I have accumulated a mass of data so far, and it's getting very interesting. I will still need help from you folks as there are lots of things yet to be found out.
Has anyone ever built this model ? Does anyone have a copy of any plans please. It's not for direct copying but to get the proportions correct. Length versus breadth type of thing. It's very difficult to calculate against a 3D picture.
I have even been on a trip Via 'YouTube', on board and have seen so many details that my head hurts.
Here is a picture of the real ship. Building this one should keep me occupied for a while.
