Not so often something new can be seen on this side of the forum. Hoping a lot of people have some work on the bench... About 20 years ago, I started to built a steamer. The hull "almost finished", and part of the cabin (diner room, kitchen, closets...), all 1:22 scale, without any kit. I gave up because the steam machine I bought was to weak and to heavy for the boat. I wanted to make place in my man's cave and found again the hull. Since I started, I discovered the 1:18 world, and did'nt throw the hull in fire, but decided to make a patrol boat that could fit with my small 1:18 soldiers. Well, it's a long way to finish something. I'm just proud that almost 95 % is salvage material, including an old RC kit that still works. But again the problem of the weight: if I load the boat with 6 BBI figures, I've to cancel a 3rd channel and servo to engage the nav and search lights... OK, here is where I am now:
Together with the PTE patrol boat, it seems nicely bigger.
Details of the cabin:
I went into a bad mounting procedure that force me to completely finish the cabin and it's electrical installation befor ending the hull.
And the hull inside (still a lot of work before the boat will float and move).
Thank you for looking and commenting.
