Ovalmaltine 1/72
Found the Ovalmaltine sailboat, thought it would be an easy build.
Waterline model, no hull to deal with, small enough for the shelf. That proved to be a wrong premise. But it came out well, better than some of my stuff I did earlier in the year. Scale is 1/72, the "Waverunner" jet ski is my own interpretation from another project idea of mine, but may never be started. Nice build while listening to "The Tide is High" or "Sailing...Takes me away". Figures are from Tierra Mokie, and modified to fit the water theme. Jeff

Looks good to me. What was the reason the premise was wrong?

VK, the part that looks like the bottom for the waterline hull extends way beyond the stern. I had to cut about half of it to fit. It's shape is not for
below the top deck because it is narrower, in width/beam of the sailboat. hence the "assumption" that it's for the bottom. The sails, and my mast I happened to rolled them too soon, as a weather front was coming onshore and the rainy weather seems to have played a part in distorting the mast and sails causing them to be a bit "lumpy" if that's an accurate description. The original might be hand drawn since it a French promotional for selling the powdered drink we in the USA call malted ovaltine. Thanks guys for having a look.
