I like the texture. The design is kind of a steam punk/art deco thing.

Out of curiosity, what is the scale going to be?

How big is the boat compared to a man standing next to it.

Just curious.

In fact i didn't think about this. I'd say one average man fits the height of the ball

Some kind of railing on the sides would give some clue to the scale.

Please tell me about the water there septentrio (that would be great for my seaplane user added image
