I thought I'd share a couple of photos of my Krick Victoria build before it goes on the shelf to make space for this winter's project, a Mount Fleet Models "Highlander" which is a 1:24 model of a Clyde Puffer. Anyhow I'm still waiting on a few final missing detail parts (never buy a kit and wait five or six years to build it) and am in no hurry now to install the R/C gear. I might even change the steam plant to a MSM Vertical Boiler Avon as the MSM Horizontal Clyde weighs a ton (too much) when everything else is done later.

Bonjour Larry,
Your baby looks great and I have in my collection her sister Alexandra equipped with a 2 cc (and an horizontal boiler too).
I would greatly appreciate if you could share with us more pictures of the steam plant as I do not recognize the machine for instance nor see any whistle

Very elegant Larry , your choice of wood is impeccable , very nicely turned out and finished. I like the bimini convertible top as well. May I ask what those 2 rectangular boxes are on the roof ?

Thanks Bruce but it's just the wood that came in the Krick kit. The navigation lights are on the roof, red on port side and green on starboard.
