BANYAN Posted August 21, 2020 Share #61 Posted August 21, 2020 Just happened on your build Steve. A very interesting subject to model and you are doing a grand job with her. cheers Pat Canute 1 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Harvath Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share #62 Posted August 22, 2020 John, Yes, the from the plan the chimney stacks scale out at 37 feet above the roof. To me it kind of looks like a classic mid-America stern wheel river boat. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Harvath Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share #63 Posted August 23, 2020 I have made up the drip caps for the chimney stack bases. I made them out of a 'beware of the dog" plastic sign. The plastic is thin and takes rivet impressions and paint well. It also bonds well with the solvent. I am sure there is a way to design them with geometry. I just used a hit and miss method for the diameter for the center cut out and the outside edge. mtaylor, tarbrush, Canute and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted August 23, 2020 Share #64 Posted August 23, 2020 Who needs geometry when your hit and miss works so well? John mtaylor, FriedClams and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Harvath Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share #65 Posted August 31, 2020 Finished (at least in my mind), I painted the stacks and added two vent pipes aft of the stacks. I think these would have been for the boiler safety valves or blow down. I think I will be weathering it a bit to look like it has been working. This might also bring some of the detail into sharper contrast. Canute, Stimpy, GrandpaPhil and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted August 31, 2020 Share #66 Posted August 31, 2020 I'm looking at your latest I was thinking it looks like the engine will fire up and work. The devil is in the details and you nailed it.

wefalck Posted September 1, 2020 Share #68 Posted September 1, 2020 I am always somewhat amazed at the rough utilitarian look of industrial machinery (including ships and related) in the USA ... you captured that look well, I think.
