le débutant Posted March 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 22, 2014 I everybody. Few comment before the photo. The creole queen by dumas is not what expected from me. This is a boat made for RC more then collector,so everything is more...looking for the best word. Never the less,not easy to built. The length is the first problem,to translate all info the boat as tendency to twitch. But i am moving forward. Problem,of yesterday,i fond out the wing of pilot house was to large,so the fence build with coper rod has to be remove for reduction and cut the wing to be equal to the previous floor,so the beam support under the floor will fit. coxswain, tasmanian, edmay and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is interested on because it is different than my too oder one. I am more interested on building the Santa Ana by AL. and i found a place for a good price.

le débutant Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted March 24, 2014 Last few days i spent my time of sanding the boat,and painting the fence. The wing problem of pilot house is resolved,by better alignment of the two side and making sure all column are align. (not completely re-build not sure how to proceed at this time) And now i am changing my way of building. There is no sense for me to pre-build and re-start every thing twice,so i will finish the sending and after i will paint the boat. I will use one primer for all the boat and after the proper color of each one,for walls,floor etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le débutant Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Today moving forward with this; Two side are done promenade deck and boiler deck. It take me a bit of time, to figure out the proper angle on top and bottom,but with the proper tool and a piece of paper for the design and go.

David B For building the creole queen boat i received the drawing and two page of text before moving forward i have to check twice on everything. At the beginning i thought i was poor for reading the instruction but after correcting the build i change my view. WackoWolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look for some picture and other things how to fill the hole and i dont have any solution up to now.

captainbob Posted April 13, 2014 Share #19 Posted April 13, 2014 I was surprised at how few pictures there are of the front of the Creole Queen. But what I did see on the web, (Google, “Creole Queen Images”) I looks like the stairs come from the outside on both sides, up to the landing, and then behind those stairs, up to the next deck. And from there up to the upper deck the same way. Bob edmay and le débutant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le débutant Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share #20 Posted April 15, 2014 Tanks for the picture its help a bit,but with the next picture you will see the problem. First,put the first landing to the level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
