Good morning. i have been building scratch models for a few years now. Nothing fancy…just keeps me busy.
looking for some sort of basic plans for a Mississippi sternwheeler. Mostly just need pictures of details and I will scale to what I want. Have attached a picture of one I builtIMG_0331.jpeg
 
There are a bunch of paddlewheelers out there, mostly wood, but several in plastic.

If you are interested in sternwheelers take a look at my scratch build of the Bailey Gatzert, it is a sternwheeler that was part of the mosquito fleet in the Puget Sound.
 
A little l;ate, but hopefully not too late. For a Mississippi sternwheeler, have you researched the National Archives in Washington or the Smithsonian? The Library of Congress does not have any but these other two may be a source for you. Loyalhanna Dockyard used ot have them and may still be a good source.
