I think it is you basing that really sets it apart. I love the way the whole thing is integrated together.

And the subject of the build as well. I've never  seen a paddlesteamer in a bottle

before. 

It's true that the sharpness of the background is just beautiful, and the contrast of straight lines in surroundings with the flowing lines of the bottle make an interesting display! 

 

A masterpiece once again. :champagne-popping-smiley-emotic

 

I do however miss the penguins in the final result. Are they hiding under the jetty somewhere?

I particularly like the water wash astern of the paddle wheels.

Thank you SOOOO much for noticing that, Ian!  That was one of the trickiest things I've tried to do.  I had to glue a fine paint brush into the end of a dowel rod just to reach that far into the bottle.  The I had to bend the metal ferrule of the brush a couple of times to get the right angle to be able to reach behind the wheels.  Then I had to have my steadiest hands ever not to swipe paint on the wheels or bottle.  Then I celebrated with several tots!

Thanks, Grant.  At some point I'll put my new bi-lingual skills to use and visit your place or maybe Norfolk Island!

Thank you for that comment, Roel.  I've got an artist friend that tries to help me see beyond the straight lines and right angles that I normally see the world with.  I'm working on it.

 

 

 

@Keith Black - Club Penguin!!  LOL!  I haven't thought of that in ages!!  My son used to be a Club Penguin member when he was 10 years old.  Maybe this penguin thing has been in my subconscious all along!!

Oh you will love this even more, Keith.  You've also reminded me of one of my son's favorite computer games back around the same time.  It was called . . . wait for it . . . 

Penguins!

 

He had to guide a group of waddling penguins successfully through a maze of obstacles and past a zookeeper, leading them to safety.  Here's a screenshot from one of the game maps.  I may have to reorder that game!

Beautiful finish, Glen - the smoke coming out of the stacks is nothing short of wizardry!  My favorite build of yours yet.  Fantastic!

Thanks, Gary!  And yes, I bowed to the pressure you put on me with your "Smoke, eh?" comment a while back.  So I blame you for the additional gray hairs that effort gave me!  😃
