This is a 1:96 scale model of the steamboat "Zephyr" which worked around Seattle, Washington. Plans were drawn off photos of the actual boat, scaled from a man seen on the deck and assumed to be about 5'10" tall. I built this model in the late 1990s but never posted it before. The model is basswood planking on a solid, carved hull.

Thanks! I agree. I originally was interested in model ship building because I was interested in galleons and then 18th C warships, but I have found that I really like small craft. It's especially fun thinking that this is something you might realistically be able to sail.

Very nice! It's great to see models of small craft being built.

first time seeing a carronade model, sure you've made all items from scrap because i think there are no kits from manufacturers. Simply awesome!
