Dear friends and neighbors,
in mid december 2025 I startet my last project: Blockade runner CSS "CONDOR". Scale of model is now a little bigger in 1 : 42, caused of sufficient space for the steam engine in this rather slim hull, which shows rather sharp lines, as you see. Plan of the boat I draw by the pictures of the wooden models in American and British museums. In the past I`ve post the pictures in our forum.
Now the rough work with sawing and grinding wood is nearly finished, in the moment I made deck planking with 3 mm red cedar fillets. This is my 3. model of blockade runners after CSS "HOPE" and "COLONEL LAMB". Of course she will be steam driven. Last 3 pictures are again the models in museums, from which I made the plan.
I hope, you will like all pictures!
Thomas

Hi everyone,
I have been a modeller on and off most of my life. My interest is very definitely in the making and not using. I recall getting into a lot of trouble with my wife when I made a yacht kit given to me as a gift. On the day I finished it I put it in the bin. She called me weird but, whilst that undoubtedly has the ring of truth, I gain pleasure from solving problems and using my hands and brain to make something.
Anyway, during Covid lockdown, I made a Thames barge "Veronica" from Sarik plans. Its finished now bar minor modifications. I haven't sailed it yet as I have just changed my car and it no longer fits in the boot! I have almost finished making the mast fold properly (as does the real thing) to make it transportable.
One feature of interest is the winches which I 3d resin printed gears and all. This now enables me to fold the mast down. I always like to bring new skills to the party and hope that I can share my experiences.
I am now starting to do the research into Waverley. My goal is to use live steam to power it and, if I can get access to parts of this forum which are currently denied to me, I can see that there is a wealth of knowledge to be tapped.

Hi - I am new to paddleducks although not new to rc boats having previously made a Thames Barge. I joined paddleducks because I want to make a Waverley and was therefore delighted to find some articles from model boats in the download section which seem very relevant.
However I am dissapointed that I am not allowed to download anything from the downloads section.
Failed at the first hurdle!!!
Any ideas?
John
