Add a few pictures and it'll be a build log! -
Nice to see another kit under way by this little-known manufacturer.

I made this modification many, many moons ago, so my memory may be a bit fuzzy, but I seem to recall that the proper location for that beam is actually forward of the kit bulkheads. You can check this with the false quarterdeck to see whether the beam lies beneath the opening for the quarterdeck grating or not.

Greg, Would it be unkind to point out the little bit of over-spray from the hull number masks? This is such an exceptional model that it would be a shame to not touch that up, unless of course it is left there intentionally. Cheers!

There used to be two such shops in the US. One was Paper Models International; the original owner sold the business over a decade ago and the new owner has done nothing with it. The other still exists -- Paper Model Store. But again, the owner hasn't updated his website in ages and now seems to be selling only a few kits through eBay.

I was wondering the same thing. This sort of material would be appropriate for anyone scratch building modern pleasure craft.

Must be -- they are showing up at my end.

The "blotchiness" is less obvious at a distance. I suppose if one wanted, the etched deck planks could be replaced with some very thin strip wood, like holly.

Welcome aboard, Gill! That is a fine starter set you have purchase and will set you up well for enjoying this hobby for years to come. Cheers!

The "strange circle" is the helmsman's cockpit. If you search online for images of America, you'll get some idea of what it should look like.

Great to see an unboxing of one of these kits. -
Polaris by JDillon - OcCre
ccoyle replied to JDillon's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
Are you trying to cut through the entire plank in one motion? If so, shaving it away with small cuts made away from the hull will work better. -

ccoyle replied to Rebelnfl's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I think you're going to need to provide some more information in order to get the desired answer, e.g. kit/scratch, scale, exact area in question, and possibly photos. -
Congratulations on a fine-looking model!

So, I solved the riddle of the radiators. As far as I could tell, the parts in question earlier were simply shown in the wrong places in the diagrams. I assembled them in the order that seemed to make the best sense and ended up with structures that look like radiators. IMO, Halinski kind of went overboard on engineering the radiators (surprise, right?), but whatever -- they're done now. Which means (trumpet fanfare) that it was time to mate the wing and fuselage assemblies (after adding gun blisters, of course), so here they are: Cheers!

Congratulations! She looks great. I just now noticed that the US flag has only 20 stars, and I wonder if that was a nod by the manufacturer to the US state of Mississippi being the 20th state admitted to the Union? By the time riverboats of this particular type were being built, many more states had been admitted. Cheers!

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
