    Creole Queen by wim500 - sternwheeler - 1/82 - Wood

    Taking a deep breath and starting all over again with this buildlog.

    Luckily Ik kept a log on Donnie's site :).

     

    After 4 ships out of the box (kit) it was about time to build a ship from scratch. I decided to build the Creole Queen riverboat, a commercial paddlesteamer from New Orleans. On a scale of 1/82 the total length will be about 85 cm. I ordered some plans from Dumas for their RC-kit and started to draw my own plans. I will take a lot of time for this build.

     

    The original:

    Dumas drawings, nice but not for the hull, no details on the plans.

    Their plans were meant for RC-models and not for scratch-build.

    Making my own drawings:
