igorcap reacted to ggrieco in Heroine 1838 by ggrieco - FINISHED - Scale 1:24 - Western River Steamboat as she appeared before hitting a snag in the Red River
Thanks everybody,
I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to respond sooner. The family spent the day swimming with at the inlaws house. It was nice to come back to your encouraging comments.
Bob, I finally decided on the Ronan flake white. I wanted to try Admiralty but, it only came in sets of colors and I would have needed a couple sets to get enough white. I bought a bottle of Tamiya and it gave nice coverage but the water base penetrated the wood and with the long strakes of unsupported planking I was afraid there might be some flexing. The ronan is semi paste but with a little mineral spirits and a soft brush it covered well with two coats but still gives a whitewashed look.
I used the photos below of the Ellen Hardy as an example of the effect I wanted. I think I will still use the pastels to give it a weathered look.
Greg, Yes the edges of the planks are chamfered. The original planks were 5 inches wide including a 1/4 to 5/16 inch tongue leaving about a 4 3/4 inch face with about a 1/4 inch bevel on each side. The inner face had no bevel.

Manufactures fasteners for the model. It must be securely and efficiently. Just do fairleads and propeller shafts.

Found drawings of higher quality. In the drawings, the forum in a small file. If anyone should be I can provide large files individually.

Very nice work , Alex !
I just thought about it, and you've already made.
This will be a new revolution in modeling!

The hull is reinforced and prepared for the production of decks and finishing putty.

Along with the main work on the body of the device, prepare brass sheets for covering the underwater hull. I bought the usual paper guillotine but replaced the knife and a table on a solid carbon steel. The sheet thickness of 0.3 mm. Guillotine blades with new cutting very precisely and as a hot knife through butter.

It's time to materialize virtual development.
Thus, in the construction of two identical spacecraft to the body size of 2350 mm (between perpendiculars)
I ordered the joiner bars for housing, because at home (without equipment) to make this work is not possible. I used alder wood.
Total (for two vehicles) 20 parts (with the largest size details 9000H300H900 mm). I rented my friend big CNC milling machine.

This week I completed the posts for the boiler deck and started planing the planking for the sides. Luckily, unlike the deck, the side planking is of a uniform width and it should go on quickly.
All the posts finally in supporting the boiler deck
We know for the main deck, there was a nosing that covered the ends of the deck beams that consisted of a one inch thick plank the depth of the beam ends with a three inch diameter half round moulding on the face. I continued with that profile on the boiler deck
The post were more numerous adjacent to the paddlebox.
One of the surviving pieces of side planking. This 5 inch wide piece of tongue and groove planking was recovered from the lowere edge of the port paddlebox. It still has the remain of black paint on it.
Starting to plank the sides.
Detail of the doorway into the paddlebox. The posts and nailers for the aft end of the box haven't been added yet. We know the builder intentionally left two planks longer at the foot of the door the rest of the area inside the box was left unplanked to allow water to spill off the buckets.

This week I started tying the two decks together with the side planking but, first I had to finish framing out the paddlebox.
Lighter vertical timbers were added between the main posts to frame out the windows and add support to the planking.
Before I could continue, I had to frame in the stairs. Since all the stringers were exactly the same, I decided to let the mill do the work.
First stringers going in.
Second stringers and starting to frame the paddlebox and forward deckhouse.
Planking the paddlebox and deckhouse.
Adding the stair risers and starting to plank the paddlebox.
Detail of the paddlebox planking. There were three strakes and then a moulding that continued the run of a short rail that ran the circumference of the deck. The rail, moulding and lower three planks were painted black. All the planking above was painted white.

Wonderful work Glenn. She's really starting to take shape. Your build log is a real inspiration.

This week I was finally able to finish the last major piece of the machinery. With the paddle wheel clutch mechanism in place I can drop the boiler deck in place. I will miss all the metalwork but, I'm really looking forward to the woodwork.
Heroine's port throw out lever. roughly forged from 3/8 inch strap. The handle is roughly octagonal at the strap and tapers to round.
The pins that engage the bearing are about one inch in diameter with a two inch head. Inserted through holes in the strap, the protruding ends were then hammered flat. The pins show a lot of wear from rubbing against the bearing.
Straps fresh from the mill.
Soldering the handles and pins to the straps.
Finished throw out parts.
Clutch mechanism installed. I decided to show the starboard side with the bearing engaged and the port side disengaged.
On to the boiler deck.
I have temporarily installed the boiler deck on poplar posts in about half of the post holes. Next week I'll replace them one by one with boxwood posts, aligning and plumbing them as necessary.

Beautiful, Glenn. Your work continues to amaze me. I hope the local flooding does not affect you and your family.
