Here is a first try with Sven's Mississippi steamer, and my steamship Titanic.
Both models aren't finished yet, a Work In Progress you might say, but here they
are.
The scale is the same, Sven's model is 1m/1unit, mine is 1'/1unit, so I scaled
the riverboat by 100/30.48 (12 inch, 1 foot, I am getting clever with the
imperial system!).

Cheers
Ton

Are you sure the scale is right? The riverboat seems rather oversized to 
me, given how humongously large the Titanic allegedly was.

Is that one foot per Pov unit?

Everything is bigger than life. In those Southern States. ;)

I reckon that the largest of the riverboats would be about a third the 
length of the Titanic.


Titanic: 882'
Mississippi steamboat: 300'

Yes, clipka, according to Sven as well, in the pov-file, that steamer is over
100 meters long. Titanic was close to 300 meters, so those Mississippi paddle
steamers were really big.
I'll render a second image, with Titanic in the front, and the steamer behind
it. I think this composition gives an advantage to the steamer.

Cheers
Ton.

I think the forward well deck is finished. Onto the aft well deck.

Cheers
Ton.

I am looking forward to the inspection from the viewpoint of a drone.
Nice. :D

The aft well deck is done (More deck cranes for Stephen).
I've added the telegraphs, steering wheel and compass to the navigating bridge,
wheel house and the aft steering bridge.
I have to make some small modifications (correct some errors), but basically the
whole
superstructure is done. I'll keep the masts for last, as caking on the ice, to
dot the
tees and cross the eyes.

Cheers
Ton

Nah! Crossing the eyes will be modelling the iceberg! :-)

I can almost see the crew at work. Very good indeed.
