This is a very cool looking kit. Going right onto the wish list. Thanks for taking the time Chris.

This is a good example of Lindberg's subjects. Interesting & imaginative. Boats like this among other types were in use during the Klondike Gold Rush. Taking rushers from Seattle to Skagway, Alaska on their trek to Carson city back in 1886. Just 3 years after Krakatoa blew up.Some times Lindberg did put out kits with decent detail. A good size on this boat kit. If it suits my interests, I will not hesitate to purchase a Lindberg kit.

I had the Claremont. Back in 1968 the kit did include the motor. I wish they still had them but those mabuchi motors don't exist anymore.

The first Ship in a Bottle I made was this boat. I had to make everything by hand. I had a 22" print of this boat that I used as my guide. I scaled it down to 6" and installed it in a Jack Danials Whisky bottle I also took a piece of cotton sprayed it black and used it for smoke from the stack. Yes I had to make the paddel wheels all by hand. I then gave it to my Wife and it now sits on our bookshelf.

I bought this kit back in the 1980s and it came out great. Won first place for the ship in the Sail category for IPMS so it can be a great ship model.

The "Mad Maestro" Lindberg kit contains motor parts which look to fit the Clermont kit, but Round2 does not sell the parts separately .. yet. Thanks for posting!

"North River Steamboat" 1807. Robert Fulton was the first founder of submarines in the early 1800s. It will be interesting if you build it! :)

Built one several decades back, just ordered another. Might have to fit a motor of some sort in it, because. Mabuchi used to make several different 1.5 to 3 volt motors of suitable size. Suitable RPM? I don't know. Might also have fun with the detailing and make a few "artist's discretion" decisions. That "wood grain" I would have been fine with at 12 years old all those decades ago, but now it will get changed. The figures were indeed quite nice for their 1960s period of origin.

Actually Pyro never made the Clermont in the 50s. It was released by ITC, the hobby division of Ideal toy co, It differs primarily from the Lindberg model in the shape of the hull. The bow is rounded as opposed to the Lindberg version that has a pointed bow, that kind of resembles a point on a slat of a picket fence. Otherwise, they are virtually the same, in scale and size. I am the plastic ship model historian! I have both kits, but I probably will never build the ITC one. I generally build cars, but I do a few ships a year as a change of pace. PS - I love your videos, very well done.

This was originally an IPC (Ideal) kit issued in the fifties. There are a couple of videos on KZitem showing one of these under sail, so to speak.

That does look like an easier build than the Myrtle Corey. But all those gears have to be tough to get all together. Maybe that's why they consider it a level 3. Gee, I was just thinking (dangerous of course), I wonder if you could actually get this Clermont to sail if you put the motors in. Of course it would have to be in a straight line since there appears there is no rudder control... heck, I'm thinking like a kid again. :D Thanks for the look at this one. I may look for this one too.

Yes, this is light years easier than the Dumas kit. Gear assembly looks pretty straight forward. I bet when it is in the water it moves incredibly slow, no chance of a runaway, even at full throttle. Those tiny paddles can't move much water. Probably take 10 seconds to go end to end in a bathtub.

Nice review but I 'll disagree at some point. All the wood texture is a disaster. Some wavy and not engraved detail than needs to be sanded down for the model to look Ok and the same goes with the planks due to the old style molds that had everything in that way. No wonder about the motor back then, it's more like a toy than a real scale model.
