chborgm Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share #32 Posted October 13, 2016 I am just about finished and this will be the last post.. I have a couple of pieces to add and need to attach the rudder, and I will call it done. In the pictures below you can see that I have it placed a top of my “MSW Confederacy”. I have run out of space to place the models in the house so this will be the last. I was planning to scratch build “The city of Memphis” , but I don’t think I will. I just have to find a home for my remaining supplies and tools. I have a couple comments on the kit for those interested. The lack of instructions is not a big deal, because the eight sheets of plans cover all the details. You just have to keep looking ahead to see what is coming. I do not like the positioning tabs. They are accurately placed, but do not allow the builder much freedom to modify here and there. I have added benchs to the forward deck. and place others were they were not called for. I found the quality of the wood is great. Much of it was “Ayous”, and lazer cut sheets first rate. The plastic parts were ok. There are several details missing. Such as the anchors, there is not a boarding hatch, no ladder to get to the roof were the lifeboats are.

captainbob Posted October 13, 2016 Share #35 Posted October 13, 2016 She's lovely and well done by a master. I know what you mean about running out of room. I give mine away so I can continue to build. Bob cobra1951 1 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

Nirvana Posted October 13, 2016 Share #38 Posted October 13, 2016 CHBorgm, Timeless she is and a true beauty. When seeing her on the water is a pleasure, the steam engine and the whistle (same engine since launch in 1903). Makes a minimal wake. If you ever go to Sweden and Stockholm you have to take a tour with her. cobra1951 1 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!
