Burn in Design: Riverboat Preview

Bei Burn in Design wird an einem Schaufelraddampfer gearbeitet und auf Facebook sind erste Bilder zu sehen.

Question time how big should the Riverboat be? I am thinking a two-level boat Maybe 8 or 9 inch wide and 20 to 24 inches long . What do you guys think?

Is there really a reason to have the paddlewheel spin, adjust to water depth or have an accurate gear and belt combo in the design? Then again, why scrimp on the fun parts.

I did say the riverboat was going to be a large terrain piece. This is the main deck plate up to the start of thr water wheel. Oh, that is an 18 inch ruler by the way.

So many CLAMPS!!! I am glad I didn’t make the version with adjustable blades.

 

What do you know, it looks just like the drawing. And it works as predicted.
