Hey all, the title really says it. Zachmoe has created a very cool steampunk floating yacht the Radiant Kestrel.

Check out the use of the viking hull parts!

She's a comely vessel!

Darn, I thought my using the Jabba barge sails in S.P. was so unique.
Anyway, this is absolutely brilliant! I love every inch of it- this in particular is nice, with all those tiles, including that design with the weird thing in the middle; the grey barrel with at-st hatch is nice, as is the instrument bank there; And this little boat is cool, too.
This shot is nice, the use of the black dragon wings and the tie fighter cockpit is awesome, but the best thing here is probably the upside-down Viking Longboat hull. Very cool. Great find!

Definitely one of the cooler things I've seen this week. I like the stuff on the bottom of the hull the best; it's a nice detail that I would have overlooked had I been the builder.

The Jabba's SB's sails... look in place. Wow.

Love the small things in the model. The steam engine thingy, the small boat, everything!

...although I'm not sure about the TIE cockpit. It... it doesn't look in place.

Still, looks awesome!

The Viking ship's hull is great, but the underside is also excellent.

The maker did a excellent job. It looks like something off of FF. I like the use of those sails from the sail barge. I really can't say anything, I don't know what to say...

This is absolutely gorgeous! Not much else to say...

Blogged.

Wow. I love the way you use the Viking hull upside down in the front, and the outriggers really add to it. Great job!

This is definitely one of the better SteamPunk creations I have seen in the recent months. The overall shape looks great. I especially like the use of the sails, and the upside-down hull at the front gives the hull shape a very unique look – very fantasy-esque. All the detail is superb. Very nice job.

Thanks for sharing this creation.

I love it! Best steampunk I have ever seen. My favorite part is how he flipped a regular boat front over to give it that nice curve.

I like that it has a "dingy". It's a nice addition to an already great MOC.

I may have to try my hand at one of these someday...

It has a Flickr gallery too. I immediatly marked two of the shots as favs, but accidentally lost the page before I could mark the guy as a contact, and now I've lost the page.

I guess I should step up and say thanks all!

Ive been hanging out mostly at Classic-Space.com, and I didn't know that everyone over here appreciates Steampunk so much.

While I mostly build space MOCs, I'll post my Steampunk over here as well (and some small caslte MOCs if I ever get around to photographing them).

Thanks again all!

Hello, Zackmoe!

Like I said before, I have a Steampunk Blog, and if you contact me with information concerning any future Steampunk MOCs you make, I will be glad to feature them.

In Christ,
