Old paddle-wheel steamboat with display stand

myminifactory

I was eager to create something following the bathtub boat's sleek design, which not only floats but also looks great on my desk. The concept of an old paddle-wheel steamer kept buzzing in my mind. Take a look at what I came up with. It took some trial and error, but I'm happy with how it turned out so far. For inspiration, I drew from the Benchy display stand's idea - it was fantastic. I printed the Finale model at 90% of its original size to test the material thickness. To me, it looks even better a little smaller. Support me if you can! Drawing boats and bringing them to life is incredibly fun, but researching and drawing takes up a lot of time. Even my 1:1000 scale models are extremely time-consuming. I wanted to see if there are any fellow enthusiasts out there who appreciate my work and support me in return. Become a patron or tip me if you can - thanks!
