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?
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.
I have seen this other TH-camr, 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❤
Holy shit - I can’t believe the TH-cam 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 😂
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 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.
Bien réalisé😊 Mais je plein les mécanos si ils doivent réparer le moteur de l engins ou changer un pneu vu la taille imposante mdr 😂😂😂 Blague à part : encore une fois ( idée originale bon boulot 😊)
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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?
Well done, I like the fact that you are in Australia too as when you mention items you are using I should be able to round them up, oh & I also liked & subscribed on the spot, cheers.
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
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.
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
Awesome kit bashing! It's amazing what you can 3D print for scratch building or kit bashing. Do you mind sharing the chassis and tire files from Thingiverse? I have a future idea for a scratch build /kit bash and would love to use them in that.
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
Hey hi love your work 👍, I'd love to see you build dioramas for 40k or conquest or war games in general I think you'd be great on those.. but anyway great work glad you rediscovered your long lost passion
@@ScaleModelGeek it really does look familiar, maybe an scx10 version 3? I can research it in the morning and see what I can figure out, though it doesn't matter, it is just bugging me lol
Awesome model! I think the deck and walls of the boat could have had a lot more dirt and have a darker color in general. Those parts seem a little too clean as the rest looks more wasteland style. Really good job!
well did know that big whas hopeing foe 135th scaill yes DA boyz and big mek willl have dun this one and bin painted red to go faster but hole thing good looking and looks like fun to do
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!

@@paulcreed-r2n Just the parts mentioned sounds like you will have an awesome build
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.
@@shanepowers7566 That does sound very cool

this is sick... well done
Thanks for watching
outstanding. 💯
Thank you
Brilliant mate
Thanks for watching
Very cool build!
Thanks Chris
super cool build.... I think I might have added some gun positions ... since its post apocolyptic
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
Excellent work!
Thank you
Amazing!
Thanks for watching
Amazing 👍

Very interesting idea, zombie wars or during an apocalypse. I like it a lot.
I also loved the very cool concept. 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.
Sounds cool. Do you remember the movie?
Bien réalisé😊

Cool and fun build, but I think this would be far cooler as a RC vehicle
it would be cool to see it tearing around. Thanks for watching
Pretty cool diorama you put together. Really like the way you merged the ship and the vehicle.
Thanks for watching
Gives a whole new meaning to "Monster Truck", lovely dio. Cheers
Thanks for watching
Something like that build would be an awesome RC Rig, to drive around.
That plastic model bash is verry cool too. 😃👍
It would get a lot of attention. Thanks for watching
Very cool result!!
Thanks
That junt hard as hell
Looks Great modelfriend
Thanks
Outstanding!!! I love it!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Way too cool! Well done
Thanks
This is really well done! Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this video with us!
Thank you and thanks for watching
awesome, need an RC version of this!
Great concept, awesome build 👍🏻

@@modelermark172 I wouldn't mind doing an Ice Ship like the one painted by Rodney Matthews
Sick
Thanks for watching
wonderful build! those drybrush and wash paints look awesome, I'll have to check those out. always cool to see a tugboat, no matter the water level.
The water is a bit low in that world. thanks for watching
Freakin awesome job! Your end detailing was PERFECT!
Thanks and thanks for watching
If they make another Mad Max they should talk to you . Well Done.
LOL. Thanks and I'll be waiting
Never thought about using those trays from diamond paintings for mixing palettes. Pretty brilliant.
I'm lucky my elderly mother loves creating that diamond art so I have heaps of those trays.
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.
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.
Looks awesome I like these post apocalyptic dioramas. Cheers
Thanks
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?

I've never found vomit awesome, but each to their own I guess
Looks great 👍
Thanks Sam
Another amazing build!
Thanks
Really cool! So many details!
Thanks
5:11 this was the third test i guess, Nathan Lyon was remarkable at that game.
That looks awsome, love the kit bash
Thanks mate. It was a lot of fun
Absolutely brilliant mate! great job!

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
The destroyers sound like a cool idea
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.
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
A fishing net on one side can be used as a boarding device ;). Looks awesome !@@ScaleModelGeek
"Let's face it: a tugboat with wheels on land is a pretty dumb idea. But it looks so so cool!" It sure does! Subscribed, excited to see more :)
I'm glad you agree. Thanks for watching
Looks cool.
Thanks for watching
I have no idea why I haven't found you before now. But very glad I did! Amazing build! I look forward to checking out your channel. subd
I just keep chugging along in the background. Thanks for watching.

great work and quite unique. subbed, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and the sub is very appreciated
Brilliant!
Thanks
That's some mighty fine work right there ... exactly what modelling is about IMHO, making the imaginary real :D
Thanks for that and much appreciated
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.
G'day new to your channel mate. This build is wicked mate
Thanks and thanks for watching

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.
What kind of 3D printer do you use?
Anycubic Mono X
How do the tiny people get onto the ship?
The crane
Is there an entrance hatch somewhere?
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
Hey hi love your work 👍, I'd love to see you build dioramas for 40k or conquest or war games in general I think you'd be great on those.. but anyway great work glad you rediscovered your long lost passion
It took a pandemic lockdown to rediscover my hobby. It's been on my list to do something from the 40k world just not sure what to create.
Would have been cool with the propeller.
I was on the fence with the propeller but obviously went against it in the end. Thanks for watching
weird, the 3d printed chassis looks like an RC crawler chassis..hmm
Apparently it is a RC chassis
@@ScaleModelGeek it really does look familiar, maybe an scx10 version 3? I can research it in the morning and see what I can figure out, though it doesn't matter, it is just bugging me lol
@@ScaleModelGeek bleh I looked it up it is an axial scx10 II chassis, I looked it up now lol
@@blackehartrc395 Yeah, someone else said that in the comments.
That’s Nuts 🌰 ❤
Yes it is. Thanks for watching

Awesome model! I think the deck and walls of the boat could have had a lot more dirt and have a darker color in general. Those parts seem a little too clean as the rest looks more wasteland style. Really good job!
I figured because it was in a wasteland that there would be more dust than grime. Valid point. Thanks for watching
I was on something like this at burning man 😂
With the floods this year, you would have needed it!!! Thanks for watching
well did know that big whas hopeing foe 135th scaill yes DA boyz and big mek willl have dun this one and bin painted red to go faster but hole thing good looking and looks like fun to do
