A Ship Traverses The Land In A World Where The Oceans Dried Up |

[@ScaleModelGeek]

There are some great repurposed vehicles recently built by modelers like WWII planes into automobiles and ships into trains. Have you seen a surprisingly repurposed vehicle?

[@paulcreed-r2n]

I just got back into building after lock down & my wife having chemo, i had enough unfinished builds to start a repurposed sci-fi flying ship this year. I'm using a 17th century gallon with a chopped VW camper van & the captains cabin is a WW2 era EU tram body, love the tug boat 4 wheeler build & subbed.

[@ScaleModelGeek]

@@paulcreed-r2n Just the parts mentioned sounds like you will have an awesome build

[@shanepowers7566]

Once I put a chrome V-8 Dodge he I dragster motor onto a model plane of one of those WW2 twin engineGerman jets. I thought it looked really cool.

[@ScaleModelGeek]

@@shanepowers7566 That does sound very cool

[@Hunta1357]

I have seen this other KZbinr, by the name of boylei hobby time, who kitbashes wagons a lot and makes mechs out of them. This boat car is very cool and I would love to see more❤

[@sydekontrol2330]

super cool build.... I think I might have added some gun positions ... since its post apocolyptic

[@ScaleModelGeek]

That would make sense and it didn't even cross my mind at the time. My current diorama build does have guards. Thanks for watching

Not so daft, reminds me of an old kiwi film where they connected an old helicopter to a tracked base. Great build.

[@ScaleModelGeek]

Sounds cool. Do you remember the movie?

[@m.kingery]

Holy shit - I can’t believe the KZbin algorithm served me up a video of a pro making a model of a drawing I made 7 years ago!!! Feel free to make a model from my Huey if you are looking for more weird vehicles that shouldn’t have wheels 😂

[@ScaleModelGeek]

I'm a bit confused as the artwork I came across was by Jenna Ong whom I credited. The 'ship' was called The S.S. Hermit Crab. You must be inspiring everyone with this awesome concept. BTW, love the Huey concept.

[@m.kingery]

@@ScaleModelGeek it’s not easy following the reference chain in this day and age- I’m just so pleased I found your video, it made my day!!

@@m.kingery I'm glad it made your day and finally the algorithm worked for me. Thanks so much for watching and I will definitely be doing something with the Huey concept.

Аппарат получился очень интересный-сам люблю такое направление. Но у автора много непродуманных деталей, которые сильно портят общее впечатление: 1.Зачем сухопутной машине якорь? Да еще такой большой и тяжелый. 2.Где подъемный механизм для этого якоря? 3.Как экипаж машины спускается на землю и поднимается на борт? Нет ни одной лестницы или трапа для этого. 4.Как желтый контейнер крепится к верхней палубе? При движении он обязательно сместится и рухнет вниз. Можно показать, что он приварен уголками к палубе. 5.Почему все бочки не закреплены? Во время движения по палубе невозможно будет ходить.

[@ScaleAutoGarage]

Never thought about using those trays from diamond paintings for mixing palettes. Pretty brilliant.

[@ScaleModelGeek]

I'm lucky my elderly mother loves creating that diamond art so I have heaps of those trays.

[@souvik07994]

5:11 this was the third test i guess, Nathan Lyon was remarkable at that game.

[@SlimGroove]

The tugboat has a hoist probably intended for an inflatable boat. Seeing as this is a boat repurposed for land, maybe it would look cool to hang a land-alternative to a inflatable boat in the hoist, like a couple of dirtbikes or a small offroad vehicle?

[@ianp8921]

the chassis is an Axial SCX10, its odd that the stl file has included servos and electronics. someone 3D scanned the 1/10 model I think.

[@ScaleModelGeek]

Not sure if they did that as quite a number of the components of the chassis were not connected so when I printed, some pf the parts came apart. They could have possibly scanned the components separately and then assembled them.

[@bjw4859]

This is a great conversion of a classic kit! One thing is for certain: The tool and die makers who produced this kit back-in-the-day never in their wildest dreams could have imagined something like being done with this kit . . . . 20th like.

[@ScaleModelGeek]

I really enjoy kitbashing and the next project is a little crazy as well. Thanks for watching

[@modelermark172]

I can't wait to see your next project! That said, I wonder if you might consider making a variation on the theme of this video, but using a sailing ship, like a Spanish Galleon, or some other wooden-hulled tall ship . . . ? (Sails fully set, of course.)

nice og concept and beautiful recreation. i realy oved it. will try making one over this weekend, albeit on a smaller scale. one suggestion: it needs a ladder or rope or something for people to get up to the ship from the ground

[@robperkins2085]

Awesome work! The scene really tells a story. Perhaps adding a ladder of sorts would help clarify how the passengers get on to and off the tug? Now subscribed and looking forward to checking out some more of your videos.

[@ScaleModelGeek]

I did think of doing a walkway but I figured they would use the crane with a platform for security reasons. I might add that at a later stage

couple of ideas for you Geek... ST/SW mashup - 1701 Refit/Nebulon-B, WW2/SW mashup - HMS Hood/Imperial Star Destroyer, SW/B5 mashup - Victory Star Destroyer/Hyperion Heavy Cruiser

[@cy-one]

Honestly, I first thought this was put on an Axial SCX24. I'm a bit bummed it isn't :D It would've been hilarious to have that thing drive around.

[@adamswindells1]

That looks like an Axial SCX10 chassis, ittd be cool to have an actual SCX10 with a tug body, i think the old Heng Long seaport workboat would work well but its been a while since i had one so the sizes may be wrong

[@ScaleModelGeek]

Apparently it is that chassis. I had no idea what it was when I downloaded the file. I just needed a truck chassis. Thanks for watching.

Just needs a rope ladder to access the vehicle and a chain to secure cargo container to the deck... but looks cool...

Access is with the crane. I might add a platform at a later stage and yeah, the cargo does need securing

As both a scale modeller and RC Scale Crawler builder, it is painfull to watch this, because that chassis is an old Axial SCX10 chassis and there is even the steering servo on it. Knowing these kind of scale crawler chassis makes your model less believable for me. Other than that, it is an excellent model!
