That looks very nice especially considering you made it up from leftover scraps! Looks better than many kit stern-wheelers.
Is it a powered or static model?

hello to all.
I also had ago at the scrap box stern wheeler. As new to paddle ships@boats I found it a very good model
to start with. I did a single wheel instead of two,also fitted a rudder to it.
She sails reasonable well,but i am very pleased with end result .
