Duanelaker Posted February 6, 2020 #1 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I purchased this kit on EBay for what I thought was reasonable...

Duanelaker Posted February 6, 2020 Author #2 Posted February 6, 2020 So this kit is different as the hull is created differently. Both sides cracked on me so I will have to brain storm and figure out how to replace it...

Duanelaker Posted February 6, 2020 Author #3 Posted February 6, 2020 More pictures of the hull...the rear piece needs some work as well.

Duanelaker Posted February 6, 2020 Author #4 Posted February 6, 2020 I did finish the first decks planking, so far I like it.

Duanelaker Posted February 6, 2020 Author #5 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Putting together the engine room and all of the bottoms structures will be fun...I’m doing my best to read, check against the drawings, look at the pictures, think about it.... this pictures shows you how the slot is not nearly wide enough for the plywood...but I need to figure out how to make the structures the correct size and maximize glueing and strength, without creating interference. Fun!

Osmosis Posted February 6, 2020 #6 Posted February 6, 2020 Wow that was quick Lol. Very nice job on the deck planking. Is that the pattern called for in the instructions or one of your own design? Either way I like it. Like I said I have the newer version of this kit waiting so I will be following along with interest. Duanelaker 1 Quote Art Smith Current Build: E.M.

Like I said I have the newer version of this kit waiting so I will be following along with interest. This is the pattern that this older kit calls for (or atleast what I can see from the instructions). I noticed an older kit on this site that ended up doing stripes on the decks with the dark and light wood, but I liked the look on the box and tried to emulate that.

Duanelaker Posted February 20, 2020 Author #8 Posted February 20, 2020 I’ve been working on the cabins...it’s been entertaining for sure. Getting a lot of the large rough work done, there will be a lot of little fiddle items including stairs, railings, paneling...

modeller_masa Posted February 20, 2020 #9 Posted February 20, 2020 Many things are different from my kit I built. I thought the deck pattern is your unique idea. The reference number is same (#504), but looks like your one is older than mine (1987). I like this version of KotM more. Keep going on this beautiful steamboat! Duanelaker and yvesvidal 2 Quote
Duanelaker Posted February 20, 2020 Author #10 Posted February 20, 2020 Yes they are close for sure, mine did not come with the instructions you are showing. The one I have comes with written instructions and three plan sheets. There are no real logs for the old kit so it’s been a learning process. I thought about doing the pattern as you show it but I liked the picture and directions that came with my model. modeller_masa 1 Quote David Builds in Progress: Phantom Pilot Boat - MS Completed Builds: Bounty Jolly Boat - AL Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff - MW Grand Banks Dory - Bluejacket The Dinghy - MW Grand Banks Dory - MW 32 Pound Carronade - MS Skiff - MW Peterboro Canoe - MW On Hold: 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull - NRG Ponte Berlin - Corel Taurus Steam Towboat - MS
Duanelaker Posted February 26, 2020 Author #11 Posted February 26, 2020 Been working on this model here and there when I have time. It’s frustrating because the instructions are not great, but from what I gather that is the standard. for fun fun I built up the different layers... Shes a big one 😂 VTHokiEE, EricWilliamMarshall, yvesvidal and 6 others 9 Quote David Builds in Progress: Phantom Pilot Boat - MS Completed Builds: Bounty Jolly Boat - AL Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff - MW Grand Banks Dory - Bluejacket The Dinghy - MW Grand Banks Dory - MW 32 Pound Carronade - MS Skiff - MW Peterboro Canoe - MW On Hold: 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull - NRG Ponte Berlin - Corel Taurus Steam Towboat - MS
MMAC8855 Posted September 1, 2021 #12 Posted September 1, 2021 I see it's ben a while since you posted on this build. Did you ever finish the build? I purchased the same kit on Ebay, unfortunately it's missing a couple major components which I'm going to have to figure out. One thing that is missing is the instructions and I was wondering if it would be possible for you to make a pdf copy of yours and send me the file? I would be happy to pay you something for them. Thanks in advance, Mike Quote
Duanelaker Posted September 2, 2021 Author #13 Posted September 2, 2021 Mike, like many of my builds, this one too is shelved for the moment while I catch up on home owners duties and summer time chores. I do plan to continue eventually however. I will locate the plans (shouldn’t be to hard to find) and if you bear with me, I will bring them to work, scan them at full size and send you the pdf. This won’t be until Friday however, best case scenario. - Dave EricWilliamMarshall 1 Quote David Builds in Progress: Phantom Pilot Boat - MS Completed Builds: Bounty Jolly Boat - AL Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff - MW Grand Banks Dory - Bluejacket The Dinghy - MW Grand Banks Dory - MW 32 Pound Carronade - MS Skiff - MW Peterboro Canoe - MW On Hold: 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull - NRG Ponte Berlin - Corel Taurus Steam Towboat - MS
MMAC8855 Posted September 2, 2021 #14 Posted September 2, 2021 David, Thanks for responding so quickly. I understand about all the duties, unfortunately they tend to get in the way of the fun stuff, oh well... I really appreciate you taking the time to scan the instructions for me, just to be clear, the instructions are what I need. I have the three plan sheets. No hurry either, I will be happy whenever I get them. Thanks again, I really appreciate it. Mike Quote
MMAC8855 Posted October 1, 2021 #15 Posted October 1, 2021 Hello David, I was wondering if you had a chance to copy your instructions for me? If it's too much to copy all of it maybe just the parts list. I've started mine and have attached a couple photos of what I have done so far. Thanks, Mike EricWilliamMarshall 1 Quote
