Plywood has its place but that place isn't for parts that will be out in the open. It's that kind of attention to detail that turns a good model into a great model. Well done, Mark. -

SS Klondike II by John Ruy - 1/8” = 1’ (1/96 scale) - Sternwheeler Riverboat

I don't even know about oiling her? She needs some sort of protection but I tell ya, that last photo sends me, just like she is!
-
Paul, this is such a tidy build, everything is put together spot on. You sure you wanna paint this beauty? She'd look sharp al natural, just sayin'.
-
The hull turned out swell, John. Now, the really fun part of the build starts.
-
Welp, the first one doesn't do too much for me but that second ONE! It's got my Zen-O-Matic 2000 vibrating on all eight universal cylinders. All joking aside, Glen, the second one is really beautiful, the rock is just right. You know, you ain't gonna have much of a place left you keep including stuff from the homestead in these SIB projects.
-
The early transition period is my fav period even though fraught with build issues due to lack of information. Any of the wood hull screw frigates from all navies is my cuppa.
-
Mashuno, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
-
Thank you, Eric. There are so many questions about parts of this push boat that are hidden or the view obstructed. I think what I need to do is build the hull, replicate the engine room, and pilothouse as faithfully as possible and then start adding those obscured items including, the boiler, wheel's steam cylinders, mud drum, beam engine for boiler feed, hand pump, and coal bin.

I've got this sternwheeler virus bad. Now there's a working boat that you need to build, Keith. That's a fine example of one. Thank you, Eric. Yes, please because I'm having a devil of a time seeing it but as I said, I'd dearly love for you to convince me it's a dinghy because it makes life much easier. Glen, I very much wanna believe but I don't see a dinghy, then I don't know what I'm seeing. As far a being a dinghy cover, I'm not sure a dinghy cover was a priority item aboard this vessel. One of the many things we've yet to discuss is crew. Only two crew members are pictured and I don't see hide nor hair of a third which would have been the engineer. Could they have gotten away with just a two man crew? That seems a bit sketchy.
-
Eric, thank you but for whatever reason I'm having a hard time seeing that as the bow of a dinghy. I wish it was a aha moment because there should be a dinghy somewhere aboard and it removes one of the many question marks. If you and Eberhard see a dinghy then dinghy it is and I'll build accordingly. Thank you again! Thank you, Eberhard.

I bet that took some time thinking out the process of putting that little jewel together, Eberhard. Nicely done.
