Plan view of "CONDOR". For drawing the plans I find out the distances of the models pictures. Second picture was slighly bigger than first. In my measurements dependent of the scale the distances were equal. So it is nearly secure, that model 1 and 2 is near the original ship, not model 3.

The improved side elevation. The distance at the superstructure between deckhouse and stern, boiler casing and rudder house now is correct.

Thank you so much. Yes, i agree, there isn't much on the Eccleshall, or the Wrigley for that matter. I know a gentleman going by DamienG did a rendition of the Wrigley and named it LADY OF THE LAKE. I wanted to see his pictures but they dont show on his thread.

Magnificent carving at such a small scale! I wish I had that talent!!

Got all the deck saloon walls done, and got a bit bored, so today I had a go at the figurehead.
Mr. Fusilier will eventually need fairing in to the bow with some waves, a fiddly bit of filler I suppose!

Hello, my name is Greg Knipp and I am from Manitowoc, Wis. U.S.A. I have a big interest in tugs, fishing boats and paddlewheel ships. I am currently looking to construct an RC model of either the Glynn Guest design of the Eccleshal paddle tug or his Wrigley sternwheeler. I'm having trouble deciding which to start with. If I opt for the Wrigley, I would like to do away with the split wheel and double motors and go single wheel with rudders.
I am looking forward to reading the many forum threads for ideas as well as opportunities to contribute. Thank you.

Probably my 3. Blockade Runner.
In the net are pictures of 3 different models of blockade runner "CONDOR" in US museums. The "Condor" type was a series of 5 identical ships build by Randolf Elder & Co of Govan 1863/64 named EVELYN, FALCO, FLAMINGO and PTARMIGAN. Rather little is documentary - as good as nothing but CONDOR and FLAMINGO.
First model should be in Fort Fisher, near Wilmington. I don`t know about the standplace of model 2 and 3. Last model is rather different from the first 2 models, for my point of view, it seems not very authentic.
In every case: I am drawing plans of CONDOR after the pictures of first two models. Lenght will be 1600 mm at a scale of 1 : 42. Scale must be little bigger than the common 1 : 48, because the weight of a projected steam driven model.
