Paddle Steamer Robert E. Lee, scale 1:96, scratch build by the Alan L. Bates drawings [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Peter Voogt]

To conclude The Lee from the four corners:





The pictures made in the studio will come soon. Then The Lee can into the Gallery.

Aai Aai skipper, THE JOB IS DONE.
I liked to make this report out of construction. I've had to dig deep from time to time to get what I had in mind. But in the end, everything worked out.
On to the Bluenose.
Greetings Peter

Thanxs Jim, for your reply and compliment. I appreciate them.
That 'Magnificent' has not for nothing the nickname "Monarch of the Mississippi".
It was a pleasure to honor that name.

This is an absolute masterpiece Peter! Awesome craftsmanship and execution! It's quite an accomplishment, to scratch build with plans, something far better than any kit could provide! I can only imagine what a you will bring to the Bluenose. Look forward to your build.

I found a nice litho:

New Orleans: The “Robt. E. Lee” Leaving the Crescent City in 1880
A lithograph by John Stobart, (British, born 1929)

First I had to decorate the wall again. Then The Lee got its place on the wall in the vitrine:


With a led-strip of 1 meter on the vitrine in the front:


I can adjust the luminosity and the color temperature:


Just hide some cables.

Just perfect. I would not have thought to hang it on wall like that.
As soon as I can sit at computer long enough (from back problems) I am adding this to showcase gallery
