Hi LON !

   Seems to me the only boat that comes close , was one kitted a long time ago by Sterling - For R.C. The Wheeler Cruiser by AURORA is what I would like to find .Now if Mc Hale would just tell me what kind of engine it's got I would be happy ! .

Hey ! Mchale !

I seem to have lost my posts to you .What did you base the first one on .Then as I did ask before .What's under those engine hatches ? Hopefully Not a Grey-Marine !

thank you scottrc

thanks GMorrison for the tip

"I'll build the island..."

LOL! But who will play Professor and build a radio out of coconuts?

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.

McHale, 1/64 is a model railroad scale called "S".

There's tons of stuff available including figures.

that sounds like a fun diorama GMorrison

I'll build the island...

"i need to find some appropiate sized figures to make the castaways first..."

That actually sounds like a fun project in and of itself.

thanks everyone glad you like it

Nice job, and great name!  Welcome!

Bill

Very nice MCHALE!

Very cool, is that all scratched from paper and cardboard and such?  

Very cool....how much for a three hour tour?

Very nice, McHale! Welcome to the Forum!

Don't you mean Ginger or Marianne?

Looks good! But where's the skipper, Gilligan, The Howells, the Professor, Ginger and Marianne?

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.

Nice work McHale, and welcome  

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.

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!

thanks glad you like it

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.
