Update, this are finally taking shape. The boiler , gas tank and sailor are not yet attached but just loosely placed so that you can get an idea of how it will look. The beer can again is just for size reference.

Thanks Odilon, i had so much space under the main deck that i tried to use it by sinking both the engine and the oil separator . i would have also sunk the gas tank but decided otherwise due to safety issues it better it sits in the open so that any tiny seepage would not get trapped in a compartment but be blown away by the wind.

Very nice.

I love the multi levelled deck, it gives the boat a very sturdy seaworthy appearance.

great stuff Kenneth.
how does she sit in the water? I expect you will need to add some ballast.

I recently acquired a steam powered water pump but it will not be installed in this boat, if however i can get a servo powered model i will include it.

Thanks for the nice comments.
