Nice work John. The proportions for the decks of the AL Mississippi are correct. I've had that question before on a Dutch forum and scaled from 1:80 to 1:1 - enginedeck and horse stay: height = 3.35 m - both passengerdecks: 2.40 m - wheelhouse 3,65 m The wheel is so big that it is partial sunk in the floor of the wheelhouse - as on the old Mississippe sternwheelers.

First wooden chimneys are gone in the trash, almost impossible to line the both different diameters. Started again with cupper pipe for waterworks (15 mm), then ducttape around the 10 mm wooden rod and it fits better than before. Decorations between the stacks were made of a wooden rod and brass. This was a hell of a job, only after several hours of suffering I was satisfied with the result.

John, excellent job, you've made the right decision to cover the gaps with some veneer.

That's good news Anja, congratulations. Now the nerves are down, you're maybe able to think about building the Half Moon again.

Sorry to hear this Adrieke, and it's indeed the best option to grind the shutters a little bit. To keep both sides of the shutters equal it's maybe better to grind both sides, it is an option.

Nice progress on the wheelhouse John and don't forget the stove and the beer . I had the same problem with the 3rd deck, it was a little curved. To hide the small gaps I placed a small plank around.

Geoffrey, good to see another Korean ship. As far as I can see It looks like a Panokseon-ship, the basic of the turtle ship. I wish you a lot of pleasure building this ship.

It's not so complicated, this is only a lot of work. Remember a part of wheel will sink in the bottom of the wheelhouse, now you have glued the sides you will need tweezers. And don't forget the stove, it's cold now .

Adrieke, I have to admit the 4 pane windows are looking good . Sapelli isn't easy to bend because of its structure, I like Johns' idea.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
