Within a year, I could finish an interesting project recently. Based on the superb kit from Neomega a wreck of a steam drifter from about 1917 was settled in a little diorama. It was my first model in the for me unusual scale 1/144. Hopefully you like my attempts

Beautiful work, Chloé. I got to see this in person at SMC last month, and while these photos are outstanding, they still don't do justice to the quality of the build and presentation.

Nie to see one of these built. How is Neomega quality wise? I have their Director class tug on order so I'm curious on what to expect.

Such a fantastic piece! Congratulations! :thumbs_up_1:

It was one of my favourite models at SMC, and I was very happy to be able to see it up close.

I did truly enjoy this kit, it's highly recommendable. Of course, as I wanted to do something special there was a lot of scratch building required.
Thanks to Neomega and Gordon Upton for making such items
