Hi James,
Good to see you getting underway again ( no pun intended)

As Eddy says, choose a material thats easy to shape and then waterproof if its a one off. Fiberglass will also add strength so all good advise from Eddy...

Me personally, i keep using mountains of car body filler and i'm sure i will have back problems in later life due to muscule inballance ... lol

I'm looking forward to seeing her come to life.
Regards,
Kim


welll thats much the same as what i was inteding on doing really. do plan on fiberglassing the whole thing

That model is simply amazing and for you to make the pictures availlable is a godsend
your pictures of the self feathering paddlwheels makes it easy to see how they work.
I recently joined this forum and am gratefull for all the help.  I made a file of your pictures so that maybe oneday------

Seems to be the same plan. Mine was built by me about the year 1972.
