I wanted to draw something after the bathtub boat which floats but still looks good on the desk. The idea of an old paddle-wheel steamer was buzzing in my head. You can see what came out of it. It took a few approaches but I am satisfied with the result so far. As a display stand I was inspired by the Benchy display stand, the idea was great.
I printed the Finale model completely in 90% of the original size. This was important to me so that I could check the material thickness. Personally, I like it a little bit smaller even a little better.
Update: 04.02.2018
Even if my boats are not benchmarks (benchy), you can use them for quality control.
