Steampunk Regatta
First boat is almost complete...
...my added pedals are non-workable, though...
these are the parts from the Airfoil steam engine...
...which I like a lot (in contrast to the Caranado boat kit: the fit of the parts is horrible at best and min-bogglingly disastrous at worst
Dry fitting of hull, seats and steam engine...
...revealed that more dry fitting is required 🙁
Phase 5: the 1/72 WW1 Austrian helicopter prototype is in 1:24 just big enough for a tiger-lynx-bobcat
Which may or may not stay there in the final diorama 🙂
instrument panel from the kit from some other decals and 1 mm "lights"
All major parts finished, waiting for final assembly (next weekend, maybe)
Slowly coming together. The clumsy windshield might be a goner, later...
...the large water wheel might look a tad big for the small beat...
...I like the stripped-down steam engine, though
Coal shoveling lady got an extra piece of apparel to be more decent (this is still a somewhat prude if alternative Victorian world)
The drone platform is temp connected, probably I use four beams at the end
Every body needs a "Windrichtungsanzeiger" (wind direction indicator) - OK, for a motor boat it makes little sense.
1st water layer - more to do...
1st water layer - more to do...
almost finished...
...more water, foam, ...
...and fine tuning...
...then I call it complete.
When a moron (the one typing this lines) adds too much translucent material...
...so that it it no longer translucent any more 🙁 (I hope another day and night of drying will help...)
