Along the Mohawk

How idyllic and beautiful! Nice!

What a nice use of those two models. Very romantic n

Wow, what a beauty this is going to be... and already is! It might even be distracting with more people on the roof, I very much like this private boat tour. The lighting of the couple on the boat is superb, with the dark rock behind. Very inspirational.

A lovely scene. Very well executed!

[Jo Kariboo]

Pretty designs and good attention to old-fashioned details. You have the merit of making the majority of your objects and characters yourself, just like Dune. The light on the characters is superb!

Thanks, everyone. I'll probably put 8-10 people on the top deck. It's midmorning so we'll just say the remaining passengers are still in the cabin at breakfast. There needs to be some luggage too – that also went on the roof. Have to see how it works out. I'll try to find a compromise between historical accuracy and visual clarity.

Another couple for the packet.

[Dune]

Gorgous again!

[DocCharly65]

Great!
In the presence of the last couple, I wouldn't dare to curse - it would feel disrespectful and offensive

[DMFW]

Reading this whole thread I'm really impressed with the attention to detail and the effort put into the crafting of this project. Very inspiring and educational as well (for me anyway). Looks like you are working towards a masterpiece.

[Jo Kariboo]

Very nice again!

Thanks, everyone. Just now working on a tandem horse hitch for the towing team . . . taking a little more time than expected.

Tandem rig and driver to power the packet boat.

Looking good! I have to say though the left foot placement of the center horse makes him/her look like it's slacking. Lol

[Dune]

Great! But if pulling a boat (with a lot of passengers) wouldn't they need to strain themselves more, leaning more forward? On the other hand, a ship isn't too heavy to pull once it moves.
