Oh man, looking back trough this topic put me back in my place with all that 3d printing. Marvellous stuff man.

I've found that myself. For some reason the liftwood quality of some vessels can't prevent the force of the heavy box following the course of gravity

I love these! You know, you're pretty much at a waterline pulpy submarine model too...

Looking trough this topic again for some inspiration for my miyazaki ship. ( I steal from all the greats you know) And it suddenly hit me, isn't that airscrew on backwards on your first build?

Well, I must admit I got a little despondent with these after all the damage and only faffed around with little bits but I'm back on them now and progress will hopefully be rapid (but obviously not reducing the quality).

Main hull is just about done along with the top hull. A couple more things and they can be primed ready for painting, then it'll be onto the boilers and fins etc.

cheers

Looking great James.

Shame about the originals being damaged.

I still think you have to produce a kit for these...

You damaged them OMG!...I hope you've given yourself a stern talking to about that!

Again, excellent looking models...

Coming on great
Damaged bits

Surely a man of your talents could build a crash scene for the bits?

Coming together nicely.

I would love to but it wouldn't be worth it really

Beautiful work as always. I've asked myself numerous times why someone hasn't jumped on the MDF/laser-cut Aeronef thing. The fairly rigid lines would make it a simple line to produce kit-wise. It would also allow a nice modular build

A) purchase frame/deck
B) purchase engine housing
C) purchase superstructure
D) purchase stabilizers/prop etc.

It'd be a simple line to produce, but I guess there must not be proper business sense there.

Personal preference for a kit would mean it would have to be multimedia and I've too much on the list before it to consider even doing it in the near future

Got some paint on and I'll be weathering this afternoon hopefully.
