Fantasy Flying Machine 1:30 scale (approx.)

Carleroo · Jul 12, 2023

A scratch-built Fantasy Flying machine built from left-over bits and pieces from a number of model kits and scrap from around the house. It's part balloon, part stagecoach, part car and part ship, and of course it flies!!

The only thing I had to buy was a paper lantern!

Interesting aircraft. I like. What kind of ship is that under your aircraft? Looks very interesting.

Looks like something out of Frank Reade stories! Great artwork, but unreadable stories 140 years on. Looks very cool!

That is a great looking "Jules Verne" type flying machine. Nicely done.

I'm not sure if I answered your question about the ship. It is the Ulisses ( renamed it "Martha May"), an RV tugboat kit sold by Occre.
