Unfortunately, Steam is very expensive, If I Steam the Mt Washington (if possible) it would be close to $900. Looking forward to your progress.

I am going to fit a drive motor, can't afford a steam plant.
It's interesting that the ship had a method of lifting the prop on board to reduce drag while under sail or in the ice. I still have to find out how this is possible. Not that I intend to do this on the model. I believe the rudder could be lifted on board as well. Sails were used because Discovery could not carry enough coal, and there was not any refuelling provisions. ▲

Looking good. I always plank on frames even my steam ships. 5ft model planked with 1/16 balsa Impregnated with resin. Built 2001 still going. Even dropped it twice so did have to repair. 1/16 is to thin use 1/8 now as I have a large supply. Bought 40 years ago when aero modelling. Boats donโt crash had 2 sink though ๐

Looks to be a beautifully built hull, lovely lines, that grey primer is great for showing the slightest imperfection. Look forward to more pictures.

Would your deck be snug fit and screwed in place. Let a bead of silicon cure on the frames used as a gasket when the deck is in place.
Members of my club use clear tape to cover hatches and covers from water getting in. Rick ▲
