Here is a little review I did on a couple of very handy tools for the hobby. I did this as part of my weekly segment "The Art of Detail" Mainly focused towards model railroaders, but these tools are very handy for any modeling. I hope you find it useful. -

Absolutely brilliant work! Don't forget the Ben Hur sound track to be added... "Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump..... RAMMING SPEED!.... Thump Thump..." This certainly opens up a lot of possibilities for a realistic RC ship.

Very interesting build project. I love what you are doing with it. Slot and tab construction. While I love it and use it quite often in our own kits, I have come to learn that moisture levels, "nominal milled thickness" and precision fit, can all work against each other. For example we use a lot of 1/32 and 1/16 basswood sheet which varies in thickness from the mill by as much as 1/64 or more. While that does not seem like a lot for wood, it is a lot when it comes to a precise laser cut slot! Looks like you are overcoming these minor roadblocks though. Happy Modeling and very much enjoying this thread so far. BTW, the Tiger Moth is one of my top 3 favorite aircraft of all time! My uncle was an instructor in the RCAF and spent a lot if time around them. I have most of an instrument set, compass, and propeller that I covet!

The rest of the model went according to the original cad model and fit fine the first time. Simple rigging and some 3D printed parts like the original.

The wheelhouse aft wall is made from polybak which is engraved and then layered with the window frames, both inside and outside. The bench is crafted from polybak and basswood base. The skylight box is made from basswood and the skylights are added along with a phosphor bronze wire for the center hinge/seal. Fitted skylight into cutout in cabin roof.

The cabin walls are made from 1 piece of polybak and rolled to fit the slots in the deck. This makes for a nice tight fit . Spacers were added to keep the curvature of the cabin correct. Porthole rings are added to the outside of the sidewalls along with a frame doubler panel, framing each port hole. The aft Cockpit bench is installed, keeping the cabin sidewalls tightly in place. Perfect fit!

The keel, bulkheads and floors are installed over the waterline hull base. The aft cabin wall is made up from layered basswood and ivory polybak, that has been lasercut and engraved. This makes for a very rigid structure to attach the hull panels and deck Here we are using a little weight to glue the deck to the hull and maintain the appropriate curvature.

Thought I would share the prototype build of a 1912 West Coast work boat. In 1912-1915 she was owned by Clarence Wakeley, Vancouver BC. In 1918-1921 she was owned by Dolly Varden Shipping Co. Ltd., Victoria BC, and used to supply the Dolly Varden mine and railway. In 1926-1930 she was owned by Walter C. Hanson, Butedale BC. On July 10, 1930 she was destroyed by fire in Deep Cover, on the North Arm in Burrard Inlet, BC, Canada. This is a waterline kit made from Basswood, Polybak, and some 3D printed details. I will probably get around to releasing this as a kit and possibly another version in 1/4" scale (1:48)

Darn You Chris! Now I am ordering one too! I don't need it, I don't when it will get built, but I wanted it! I hate you! LOL😁 -
A little late to the game on this one, but what a wonderful build and a fantastic finish. Congratulations on such a great job. I clearly have a weakness for sternwheelers you did a great job on this one.

I agree with druxey, if you can manage the electric Stand/sit desks, it would probably be the best. I am just in the process of redesigning my workspace to be able to stand or sit on a tall stool because of growing back issues. Sitting at a standard desk height and an office chair does not cut it with lower back pain and knee pain. I am considering one of these (amazon and Ikea have them). BEKANT Desk sit/stand - black stained ash veneer/black - IKEA There are crank ones that are cheaper that the electric ones ...

Hi Folks Happy to be aboard. There are some fantastic modelers on this site and lots of detailed information and great models. We are pleased to support Model Ship World and the NRG and look forward to contributing to the preservation of history in miniature. We have a number of highly detailed and unique ship kits in 1:48, 1:87 and 1:160 scale and will be adding more as we go along this venture. Here are some of our current nautical offerings

This is going to be great. I have been slowly (snail pace-2) working towards a 1:87 waterline version of this boat for a while. I will be watching with great anticipation. I don't know if you have seen Magnus Andersson's 3D model that he did of this or not. Might be of some help for reference. I am not sure how accurate the hull is, but he has captured a lot of the details. ArtStation - Orca 3D model, Magnus Andersson Cheers!
