The glacier had deep crevices - we took the floatplane from Juneau, AK over glaciers and landed at the Taku Lodge in the Taku River, also the cruise ship Norwegian Star in front of the John Hopkins Glacier

  • how much wold you prise the intier set at

  • thanks for your kind comments - I don't know about the 'fantastic memory' thing - that's why I do the videos so I can 'look back' and refresh the memory. If we ever come back, we would do the floatplane trip to Taku again for sure - we had a wonderful time at your lodge, enjoyed the informative lecture and guided tour, and the 5 labs - do you still have all 5 of them? What a great welcoming committee!!!!

  • I have a clip posted of the real deal when we went to Alaska and rode the floatplane and flew into the Taku lodge - go check out that clip - that's where I got the idea to model it

  • That's some great modeling, Jimbo. Nice job!

  • I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your very generous comments - I try to model something from our vacations so we can 'reminisce' and enjoy the great memories.

  • I have some questions:

    1. Is that cruise ship hand made? or is it a real scale

    2. I just love the way you made it! Although the set is only a few feet deep, you make it look miles deep!

  • the cruise ship was purchased in the gift shop - it was being sold as a Christmas tree ornament - I don't know what the scale is

see all
