I presume that the plans and keel/hull sections are for a new model?

Yes. You are right   She will be a new "ocean going" paddle steamer.

OK......I look forward to your further progress with that.

She's looking great!!!!

It looks like you are using hardwood so far?...I'd be interested in what type you are using.

Happy Xmas and a prosperous New Year.

Cheers...Bernie

Thank you 

Yes. You are right. In this hull I used pine planks 2x2mm and 2x10mm for stringers, 3x4mm for keel. For frames, stem and stern-post I use a 1mm plywood. It made possible to use a scissor for cuting frames. Also for stern and stem I used a balsa wood plank.

Happy Xmass and a New Year.

Great Idea!!!

Where did you source such small thickness  pine wood? My guess is you cut/planed it for yourself?

Good Luck for 2014

Cheers...Bernie

Happy New Year!

I had a luck to find a bit of this wood in one small modeling shop in my town. It is an components for building a planes models. In another case, I will forced to cut a planks from a wooden rulers or buy it is in the internet or order it is in a carpentry workshop. In this case it will be a few expensive and аlso it will take a little more time.

Work in progress ))

Looking really good and...you have a pair!!

Thank you. I use the same technology.
And here you can see paddle boxes frames

I had find my first paddle steamer. And now you can see three generation of my paddle steamers on one photo. )))

First time afloat. The hull was varnished.

And the hull before varnish.

And here you can see how the project was redesigned.
