Krick Victoria
« on: November 25, 2021, 09:32:45 am »
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 ?

The steam plant is just a standard Miniature Steam Models (MSM) 3" horizontal boiler w/Clyde engine steam plant.

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.

Larry

Nice looking boat-slick on the shelf.
