I have been working on a boat model starting with a cast hull I have had sitting around for a long time. This was built mostly with small wood parts and some string. There are a few commercial parts such as the life preserver, the tire on the side for cushioning docking, the barrel on the back, and a hatch on the deck.
The anchor at the front was made using card stock and is hanging on a chain. There is a large window on the front of the cabin behind the figure.
Above is the hull casting I started with.
Above is another project I was working on. It is a shelf I placed on top of a short bookcase located in the finished part of my basement. I needed some place to display the models I have recently been working on since there is not really any more space on my layout. The shelf is 23 x 43 inches. I have temporarily placed some background structures along the wall. I may permanently attach them.
