Some real classics. The one at the bottom reminds me of the boat in an old movie but I can't remember which one.

Might be. I'll have to dig around later on and figure it out.

It was actually built from a set of plans titled Yoda's Ark from a magazine. I built two of the first was per the plans at 27 inches long. The second one, I stretched it out to 32 inches long. The same fellow wanted both of them.

The rear Paddle wheeler Creole Queen I received as an orphaned build where a master modeler started it, but passed away before he could finish it. So I was honored to receive it and finish it and I hope it turned out the way he hoped it would. It has curtains inside for the windows, lights installed where you can the color of the lighting to suite your mood. The paddle wheel actually works and it can be run on a fairly calm day in a local pond or lake.

Thank you for the kind words, but I don't call it talent, I call it persistence.
