Description

Here's a new version of my last model. As always, I take everything on board and I increased the size of the balloon (not that you can see it in this render). I also had redid the rigging (since I increased the size of the balloon, but they weren't very accurate on the last version anyway) and added a LOT more detail to the boat itself. Which meant that with the paddles in place, you couldn't see all the detail. So I switched from paddles to propellers. Still a WIP, since I can see obvious errors (the life rafts are floating!). AND before anyone asks, the life rafts have balloons stored in them which inflate when needed. ;-)

Perhaps they're hover-rafts? Using some sort of Jules Vernian-ish anti-gravity? Of course then you wouldn't need the balloons at all... Well, with that idea falling apart, the ship models look really good! All they really need now are a few passengers walking the decks (I'll buy a ticket!) :) ...perhaps the anti-grav only works on small craft... hmmm....

Very nice! The rigging and detail looks great. And I like the propellers a lot better than the paddles - looked at that and wonder how it was going to work.
