freelance concept

[leaky bill]

If you are a novice modeler interested in scratchbuilding or building freelance warships I would be happy to help you get started..

I have created a blog which illustrates my idea...

Very low detail, but clean looking.

A superyacht with a warship hull is an interesting idea. I would think such a yacht would look a little different from what you have. Most strive for more interior space so the cabin would likely stretch further forward and aft. Each 'deck' above the main would have balcony's, watercraft, pools and spa's. Optimize the luxury and space available. Game arcades, salon's, billiard room (don't ask me how to play pool on a moving ship, I personally don't think it's possible with standard rules but I've seen a table on a yacht), etc. all suck up space so think large cabin superstructure. Also portholes along the hull as space below get used for more entertainment rooms and berthing cabins.

John Wayne's yacht was built on the hull of an
old minesweeper... :)

Would anyone have a picture of it?

I posted pictures way back when...

As far as I can tell, that's the only image available of it before it was refitted.
Nothing else comes up on Google.

When it was sold, the new owners added an enclosed top deck and
currently sail it as a dinner cruiser.

I read many years ago that his yacht was a converted PT boat; leave it to the press to get it wrong. :(
Thank you for the picture and the link, Umi.
