I just finished the third boat and this time a converted side wheeler, taken into Dervish service and named the Kadesh. Can't wait to get it into action. I hope you enjoy the write up on the building of the Kadesh. Guru link |

I've had a side-wheeler on hold for …err…over 20 years now, because I couldn't figure out how to do the paddles- your idea is brilliant! |

Great build and very informative. Thanks for sharing. |

NIce model. I chose to go the commercial route and bought mine from Old Glory 25s (but in 15 mm). You can't beat a well created scratch build but for the rest of us Merrimack (now Old Glory) just can't be beat – especially for variety of options. Check them out next time you visit Old Glory. Or get out the raw materials and tools and get busy. Again, nice model. |

Awesome model. What did you use to make the wood plank look?

Great stuff.
I plan to unleash my steam paddleboat (based on a Nile steamer) this summer.
(It's RC, and hoepfully will float when not used for gaming) |

Xintao – the planking is simply lightly scoring basswood with an Xacto blade and then using a light oak wood stain. Smokeyroan – please send pictures of your RC model. I have always dreamed about building some ironclads to float at the local RC boat club. Never have built a wooden floating model yet. Guru |
