I mentioned in another thread,that I was intending on building a Steamer for my son.
So here it is.It's a bit of a Swiss army knife of a Cereal packet build around an earlier steamer design.(I've not taken pictures of each version as its possible to put it together way more ways,than ten mentioned in the title.)

Cheers Chaps,
He does like his boat.Unfortunately it's shot me in the foot as now the youngest wants the 'Sirius ' for his Captain Haddock.
It's my own fault I'd made my older kids pirate ships when they were small.(Properly wounded at the time took them down to Nottingham at the time for a shoot and was handed a new copy of WI with Gary Chalks plans in ,two months after I'd made them so they couldn't be used as we'd both come up with similar solutions.)
The bottom picture (in the first set) is the boat in 'storage',
Here's a couple of pictures to show how it breaks down,including how the paddle housings attached,and the gun is just an old paint brush handle its a pretty bog standard build for me (use this method alot).
Everything is designed to hold a figure including the lifeboat and the paddle housings.

Brilliant!
Love the modularity.
:-* :-*
I could do with one of those.
Fancy adopting me?
:D

That's a worrying coincidence.🤔
We've been fostering on and off for years now. On Friday an adoption information pack from Hull City council turned up with the post.(we didn't ask for !)
Anything you'd like to confess Mason?😄

Oh no - he's not up to his old tricks again, is he? I thought when I sent him to boarding school, that'd be the end of it!
He's right though - a thoroughly spiffing build; congratulations.....!

Fantastic work :-*

Not guilty...this time at least.
Looks like some other sneaky git round here has beat me to it.

Mason, my boy, you know I was being discreet to protect your reputation. Which is why I said boarding school and not the more accurate Borstal (although most of the callow youths round here wouldn't have clue what that is).
:D

Cheers chaps,
I've a few more nutty card builds planned for this year including a metre or so of railway line on an embankment, and if time allows a train to go on top of it.(this ones been on hold for a couple of years)
Keith,
It's for number three son. Plus its not really built to cast. However I'll be seeing a man about a dog at the show on Sunday so watch this space 😉
