King of the Mississippi paddle wheeler

This was one kit I built and did not take any progress photos as I built it. Guess I got lazy. Ship turned out very well for all of the hand rails, railing and details . It's funny. The build looks good but all I can see is where I could have done better. I often wonder if everyone else is the same way. No matter how good it is, you only see your mistakes....

Nice boat, I built one of these as well. It was lots of fun, the plans were a bit confusing at the start but I got the hang of it.,yours has some differences than mine, Your benchs are different as well as the bow, I like the hand rails on the ramp, going to steal that idea. Lol. Nice work.

Lovely job with great details. I also love your workbench - tools and instruments so well-organized!!

I’ll post a few photos of my workbench from a distance. You have to see the overhead tool storage I have setup. I’ve had both shoulders totally replaced twice so in effect I’m one of the few human beings to had had SIX shoulders in his life. To go along with that I’ve have three reconstructive back surges and one knee replacement. I was gifted something from my original parents ( I’ve have four sets of parents and one temp stay at a home plus an orphanage in my lifetime) what I was gifted is called degenerative cartilage loss. My joints are all slowly failing. So I’ve arranged my work bench to have everything in close reach but organized. On vacation now but will post photos on Friday when I get back home.

You sound like the new six million dollar man! Too bad they couldn't fix one eye to give you closeup macro vision for details work! ha ha

Sorry about the cartilage issue. It can't be easy, especially with all the movements required to get through life (and build models). I look forward to your ergonomic workshop arrangements! Enjoy the rest of your vacation.
