I love boats and ships and tring to get started on the right foot with models. I have tried a couple of times but can't seem to get the hull started like i want to. Love those river boats(side paddles). Hope to be a part of your club. Thanks, flusherx (Don)

Hi Don, welcome aboard the best paddler forum on the web. We love to assist those just starting out on thier journey both upstream and downstream. There are plenty of wonderful types to model but I 'd love to do a stern  wheeler from  the US Corps of Engineers from the later part of the 19th century. I hope you find the kind you want to make and as I said earlier there are many helpful members for you to ask assistance of.

cheers

Jim

Hey Don,
I'm in north-east Kentucky not too far from Indiana. I built the sternwheeler George M Verity and Lady Lois models. Check out my site http://towboatjoe.com
