Hi everybody as always wishing you all the very best.
Here we go onto another model but really all my stuff is connected, yes really they can be broken down into usable pieces.
But hey you all know that.
Anyway, it is a little motorboat on a slipway,at last, the hull is about right a nice shape but a bit of a pain to build
The drawing and the boat on the slipway size 160 mm long by 70 mm wide -7 inches by 3 inches.
This little piece of real estate will have a winch and scaffold In another area there will be more junk .
cheers

An unusual and clever idea for a scene and the boat is coming along nicely. -- Russ

I think boats always make great models and a slipway diorama gives so much potential for those extra bits and pieces. I remember drooling over a Greenberg and Nash boatyard scene years back.   Kim, those wonderful, atmospheric  drawings you do should be published in a book or framed, I'd love one on my modelling room wall at home.

Looks great so far!

Kim, Another nifty little boat. Planking the bow must've been a challenge.

Hi Russ, Les, Ray and Bill as always thank you for your interest
Les sure e-mail me -marshkim3@gmail.com.
Yes, Bill a lesson in strange geometry.
Well, where is all this leading, of course back to my model in a suitcase.
Roughly I have had it for 8 years and occasionally I re-build it in the thought of refining the idea.
This time better lighting with a mini valance, and the track is visible both front and back.
It works I have the cabinet done and the boat on the slipway is a foreground model.
Here is my reference for the slipway and the box so far.Everything is reusable for all the different combinations.
cheers

Better re-post the image in the post above. -- Russ

Kim, as always it is a pleasure to see your drawings and the transformation into a model.

And further down the road, now the boat is about 80 per cent finished.
Now the finish what will I do?
First cleanit up a bit.

Loaded with character and charisma. -- Russ

Here we go again,I tried to delete one photo but ended up deleting all of them,no worries.
As always best of health and full tummies for the holiday season.
This is the first picture of my ever-changing model in a Blue carry-on suitcase.
The lighting system and overall presentation are different, it has been a bit of a challenge to get it all to work so far.But generally, it uses 2 screws for assembly and election and demolition takes 30 minutes.
cheers
