    I was looking for something for my 3 year old grand son for Christmas. So grandpa decided to build a sternwheel steamship, and in lack of time for a scratch-build, it would have to be a relatively simple design, but tough enough to be showen over the carpet. It also would be capable of floating on a lake or pond. It is more or less a nice functionable toy ship for little boys to play with. It would run with a 4,5 Volt battery, if required. Today I recieved the kit. It was a pile of wooden planks and round dowels together with an electric motor, an reduction gear, a few gear wheels and a drive chain. The wooden parts are neigther printed on, nor laser cut, so quite a task, and I do hope I´ll get it completed by Christmas. The partslists come together with some scetch drawings and a rather short building instruction. The Kit from make "Matches 21" is reasonable affordable, (less 50 Eur ) for the case that the model would not last too long. Nils

    many thanks JPAM, I`m very pleased that you like it. The credit also goes to the late former builder of the model. My input was to bring the old lady to life again Nils
