66ft Motor cruiser "Mystic" by Omega1234 - 1928. 1:278 scale - Finished

[Omega1234]

Wonderful build.  I love these miniature models..you have done so very well with the hull cut away too. I enjoy miniature modeling...it is nearly as difficult as building the larger scales.  Your example is superb.

 

Reminds me of a commission I received so very long ago to build a full hull and half model(both around 6") of tis little steam launch called the Puffin.

 

I still have the hull molds and several half model hulls. 

 

Several years ago I enquired about them models and it appears they have been placed in storage.

 

It looked like this.

 

 

Hi Bob

 

Thanks for your compliments.  Greatly appreciated!

 

I love old steam launches like Puffin.  There's something magical about a steam power plant that adds a certain 'majesty' to a boat.  Almost as if it's really alive.

 

If you have any photos of your full and half hull models, it'd be great to post them on the Gallery.  However, given that they were built some time ago, that's probably not possible, though.

 

Thanks and all the best.

 

Cheers
