@WDO, welcome to the audience. My camera work is iPhone pointed shoot.looking forward to watching your build and lots of pictures.
@Bluebeard, thank you for that great offer. I'll keep that in mind as I bumble my way trough the build.Pathfinder:
Let me know if you need any pictures of the already build model we have at the shop. (Model Expo)
I‘ve found it fascinating, there are a lot of details that just aren’t normally viewable in regular photos. I’ve consumed a lot coffee watching this over and over. It would be a great help to other Sternwheeler builders.Now that does look amazing - and the best is that I can access it. I will have a closer look during the wee hours of the night.
What a great 3D video, Jan. It will helps you visualize the 2D drawing.A bonus:
I can’t remember who provided this link, but I’ve spent hours perusing it.

I don't know about a creating a masterpiece, but I'm enjoying working on something different.Great 3D videoclip.
Perfect source of info for whoever wants to build the Chaperon besides you.
Pathfinder now I know you’ll create a masterpiece.
Pathfinder 65, maybe this article will help you.The “Ro-oH moments:
The instructions indicate that bulkheads/frames 1 - 5 and the bow filer needed to be trimmed/faired to the engraved laser line Using a SHARP #11 blade. I had to wait until the Admiral was out, since my “carving” skills are nil and I take meds that could be problematic if I were to slip.

The results aren’t perfect, but no bandaids were needed.
The next step requires just a bit of carving on the edges of bulkhead/frame # 29, the rest of the shaping I can do by sanding.

The red scribbles on piece #29B is the waste that has to be removed. That will be removed by trimming to shape and the final fairing.
