Bo Button

I have managed to put the hull together, but it is slightly out at each end just not straight by 2mm, will this effect the next deck, or can I get away with it,  many thanks for your help

does anybody know you can get spare parts for the Spirit of Mississippi, I did the first 2 boards turned around and my puppy had eaten it, so I now have no hull to the ship, can I buy a new hull somewhere, hope somebody can help

I am sorry to bother you with a silly problem, but the very first piece of the hull, I have put in, but part 11 which goes on the front, it looks like a gap but the bottom of the pieces do not stick out should they be level, because it does not look like it on the picture, and what are the best clamps buy

Welcome to MSW, Bo.  I suggest you start a build log on the riverboat.  It's a great way to get help and meet other builders.

I definitely will, I lived in New Orleans and went on the Natchez a lot, and the river queen, both lovely steam boats

Hello all, I just finished ugears Cadillac, which I really enjoyed doing, so for my birthday my friends got me the occre Mississippi steam ship, it looks like a lot of fun, and a bit overwhelming, I am getting everything I need before I start, including paints, glues and varnishes, my question is do I need to buy occre paints or will my acrylic paints I use for art be good enough
