i based the look of this minnow on the 2008 72’ vicem classic flybridge cruiser
it is in 1/64 scale
I like it! Makes me wonder if it was ever kitted, in resin or styrene. With that handle, you ought to do the PT73 next.
thanks glad you like it
i LIKE IT TOO.
wELCOME ABOARD mChALE- i READ YOUR BIO AND i WANT TO SUGGEST THAT YOU POST OVER IN “wELCOME- INTRODUCE YOURSELF”.
Whoops I’ve been using CAD all afternoon and left the caps lock on, not yelling!
That really does remind me of the Minnow, McHale. NIce representation.
I agree with GM, you should introduce yourself in the welcome section.
Keep modeling and welcome to FSM.
Nice work McHale, and welcome [snWcm]
Probably the coolest part of this McHale, is you’ve gone and created something from very little to go on, other than a few seconds of footage in a tv show.
I’ve been modeling ships for about 45 years, and it’s pretty hard to work from photographs only.
I have never heard of any drawings, plans etc. ever available for the Minnow either.
Looks good! But where’s the skipper, Gilligan, The Howells, the Professor, Ginger and Marianne?
Don’t you mean Ginger or Marianne?[prte]
Very nice, McHale! Welcome to the Forum!
Very cool…how much for a three hour tour?
Very cool, is that all scratched from paper and cardboard and such?
Very nice MCHALE!
Nice job, and great name! Welcome!
Bill
thanks everyone glad you like it
i need to find some appropiate sized figures to make the castaways first
“i need to find some appropiate sized figures to make the castaways first…”
That actually sounds like a fun project in and of itself.
I’ll build the island…
that sounds like a fun diorama GMorrison
McHale, 1/64 is a model railroad scale called “S”.
There’s tons of stuff available including figures.
Welcome McHale, and thanks for sharing your build. It is a very unique subject that seems to never be modeled of a very famous boat.
