Fantasy Flying Machine, Scratch built 1:30

This is a scratch-built fantasy flying machine made from left over bits and pieces from other projects, including broom handle, dollhouse trim, rubber bands, etc.. I It is part ship, part stagecoach, car, hot and hot air balloon. It does have a rudder, paddle-wheel, steam engine, anchor and bowsprit sail, so in my mind, at least, it can hopefully qualify as a "ship". Maybe more of an airship, but still a ship!

it certainly qualifies as a flying ship. really creative, I like your steam boiler. Could not see the wood fuel stacked.

I love your fantasy flying machine. Very creative, beautifully crafted and wonderful fun. Now you need to write a fantasy novel to go with it!

Great idea, but my writing skills aren't very good. I may just get stuck on the opening, "It was a dark and stormy night.." 😅

Great flying ship! But... i feel the buoyant life ring has less use in the air 😃 

Indeed, really a fun machine and well crafted.

Yes, the life ring wouldn't work that well when airborne. But handy when the craft crash-lands in the ocean!! Thanks for your comments. It was fun to build this.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
