Dear all,
I finally finished a project I’ve been working on and off for quite a while
now. In my home city of Brisbane we have quite a large and windy river. The
City Council operate a very useful and very enjoyable set of high speed
catamaran ferries along the river as part of the cities public transport
system. These are not only popular with commuters who live near the river
but also very much so with tourists.
To cut a long story short, I present my model of a CityCat ferry, along with
complete instructions to build it. The model is in a a little smaller than
minifig scale but still fits the little fellows quite well.
It would be nice if someone one day builds this (perhaps a member of BLTC
might like one in their next layout) but if not, I learnt a lot about
raytracing water from this project.
Without further ado, here is the main picture:
with a larger version

A picture of the real thing can be seen
here.
The instructions are in the Brickshelf gallery which can be found
here after
moderation.
Please let me know what you think, criticisms as well, and I hope you enjoy
this model.

Excellent Job on the Citycat, it looks brilliant. Is that Kangaroo Point in
the background?

Thanks Anita, its New Farm actually (opposite side of the river). I use to live
somewhere there.
I forgot to say yesterday (I forgot everything yesterday) but nice job on the
smurfs. Its a great model. It really looks so cute.
