Auger Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share #181 Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Not what you expected. Get out a little… BTW, for the keen eyes out there, I’m passing oil drain time. More to life than technology.

Auger Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share #182 Posted November 15, 2023 I’m not so great at painting consistent thin lines, so to simulate the barrel irons, I used a Sharpie to blacken some thick paper and used that.

Bob Fraser Posted November 15, 2023 Share #184 Posted November 15, 2023 Nicely done! Noticed the pins in the bottom of the uprights - they helped me a lot in keeping stuff fixed in place 😃 Cheers, Cathead 1 Quote Bob Current build Cutty Sark, Mini Mamoli Finished King of the Mississippi No trees were harmed by this message, but an awful lot of electrons were put out.

Auger Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share #188 Posted November 15, 2023 Speaking of passengers, starting to add more before oiling the decks to be sure the glue is dry. Pains me to show this now, and kind of a spoiler, but it has to be done.

Auger Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share #190 Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) Secret Service agents work closely with local law enforcement to ensure that the the visit of so-and-so with such-and-such on board the riverboat (use your imagination) goes according to plan. Once underway, passengers may find themselves in the presence of a known personality and have the chance at a selfie. But engineering has found a minor problem with propulsion (maybe torquing a couple critical nuts) which may delay the departure by a half hour. Meanwhile, the bridge crew just watches the show… Edited November 24, 2023 by Auger Typo KurtH, Bob Fraser, Cleat and 3 others 6 Quote Completed Builds: AL Bounty Jolly Boat, Constructo Enterprise (logs lost in the great crash) Current Builds: Constructo Bounty, AL King of the Mississippi Up next: undetermined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleat Posted November 26, 2023 Share #191 Posted November 26, 2023 I hadn't thought of adding figures to the model. What scale are they? Quote Completed Build: King of the Mississippi by Cleat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auger Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share #193 Posted November 28, 2023 Yes, these are HO scale figures, or 1:87. They work well, especially the sitting figures on the benches.
