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...)
