Wow, the paddle wheel looks great.   I imagined it was a bit larger until I saw the picture of your hand holding it.   That was quite a project on its own.

Thank you all for your comments, likes and wows. @gsdpic your right, every piece is another project in and of itself self. Now it’s back to the windows and doors on the Main Deck. Remember those?

 

Seems so long ago, but these models don’t finish themselves, do they?

That said, I am headed back over to The Red Jacket for a while. She is begging me to pull together those masts and spars.

I really like the midship walls are looking... and thanks for not asking for any detail shots.. we are sitting at -38c right now..

 

MIKE

No worries, I think I have the pics I need. Maybe next spring, when it gets up to Zero  😆 BTW… those pictures were great, they got me to this point. Thanks

 

I have been in -40 degree weather on Indian Moutain in Alaska at an Air Force Radar site. What are your windchills?
 

We had signs posted that said exposed flesh would freeze in 5 seconds. No body was making any yellow snow. LOL 😆 

 

Frosted my bronchial tubes snow showing into a radio beacon shack. Fun times, stay warm my friend.

John: We are sitting at -42c this morning with a wind chill of -52c -Jeep is still running but we arent doing any sun tanning today! Kidding aside, if you do need more pics do let me know as the Klondike is still accessible for pictures. We are getting only 4 hours of daylight but I can get over there around lunch.. but keep the jeep running! 🙂

Thanks Mike I do appreciate you being my guy on the scene. You can keep an eye on my build and let me know how I am doing. I really don’t think I will need any more photos until maybe we see some progress on the restoration efforts, which I am sure won’t be until spring. Meanwhile a drive by would be sufficient, stay in your jeep. 🥶

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
