    Became interested in tall ship modeling when we moved to Maine from California and visited the Maine Coast Line. Explored the wonderful Maritime Museums here in Maine with a great history of ship building. Love exploring all of the New England searching out wonderful local sites and history.

  1. Thanks Keith… I will give them a try. Found these on eBay https://ebay.us/m/62KBXb
  2. I am taking the Klondike up to our DESMG 2025 Ship Modelers Exposition. If you are in the Neighborhood, Come see us in beautiful downtown Bath Maine. Should be a good time. 😎🍻 Here is an update on the build… Almost finished with the Main Deck. 1 of 5 wheels for the Paddle Wheel. Cheers 🍻
  3. I am back… starting work on the Mast and Spar details. 🧐. Let the minute fun begin. LOL 😆 Iron bands were used to strengthen the lower masts. I used 1/32” vinyl tape to represent those bands. I will be back… Cheers 🍻
  4. Love the detail and weathering technics. Awesome work, Keith. Holds up to magnification and inspection. 🧐 John
  5. Great job Keith, Paddle Wheels have got to be the worst part of building these steam ships. Not looking forward to building the Klondike’s Paddle Wheel. John
  6. Another fun fact… Mississippi River water was promoted as a healthy (full of sediment) and served with those fancy dinners on board the Robert E Lee as you cruise from New Orleans to St Louis in Luxurious Accommodations. LOL 😝
