That is a very nice personal touch on your steamer, Jan. It looks ‘natural’ and indeed: much better then the side-steps.

Thank you. I had a good time with this bit. I tried different combinations, the final one just looked “Right”.

Thought that I'd start the smokestacks while waiting for glue to dry on my other build.

BUT...



Unfortunately the dowels supplied in the kit are not the same diameter. I now need to make a trip to the hardware store

That’s a deja-vu, Jan. Also my problem with the smokestacks. Made them eventually from PVC electric tube.
Good luck at the hardware store. But watch out, it is there like walking in a candystore ………. Toys for Boys …….

True, true, true. I always seem to manage finding items that I “really” need.
