Rich...great shot of the "W.H.B" (where is the model in the picture
from?) Are you building from plans YOU drew or managed to obtain,
cause I ran across some yesterday.
W. H. Bancroft
Steam sternwheel freight boat, built 1912. Used on the Ohio, Kanawaha
and Mississippi Rivers. 1/4" Scale. 7 Sheets
Model Size: 33 1/2" Long, 5 1/2" Wide Price: $19.00
I believe these are Ryant drawings through Modeler's Boatyard

Taubmann also appears to have plans
W. H. Bancroft

Description: Alaskan Sternwheeler, circa 1912. Worked on the Copper
River in the fish trade.

Looks like they could be the same plans, cept the Taubmann ones are 4
bux cheaper!!
What type of engine/drive are you planning for the boat?..so someone
