cue banjo music

There are some very nice steam boats out there such as the one that is a floating casino on the Ohio River and they surely don't play banjo Music.

Here's the song you should hear on a riverboat, also this song is the inspiration for the model.

That is stunning!!!

Don't some of them have cargo booms sticking out the front???
One of those would make a nice complimenting model.

Might, exactly what would a cargo boom look like.

Another question I've been having, how can I warp or bend the model so it's slightly slanted on the deck and body instead of plain flat. I've tried a couple things and so far I can't get anything to work.

This seems fairly typical of what I was referring to.


A Google image search will turn up dozens more.

As for warping the deck... I can't think of any tricks. You may have to build a new deck.
However, looking at the Google Images... about half of them only have a 'slight' warped effect.
Many are also flat save a short bow or aft section.

Give the pics a look.

Redid the color of the railing, I think the light blue complements the white better.

Looking good, JP!

Nice. Are you doing that with the new PC build?

Unfortunately not, haven't yet been able to save up enough money to have it put together. I hope to soon be able to get it put together though so I can start to use it. I'm probably just going to have to wait until tax season until I can have enough money to have it put together.

I got Crafter 9.1 to work correctly on this old computer again for now.

I'm going to Branson Missouri on spring break to visit the Ozarks and lake Table Rock and were going to also take the Branson Scenic Railway and also get on this wonderful boat

Of course you realize you HAVE to add this music to your boat asset now.
