Traveling vagabond ... Indeed!
Up to you, of course, Kim, but would you consider informing the guys the name of this guy? And while you're at it, list his AND your movie-TV production credits.

The gentleman that was nice enough to carry this on his lap from Britain is Brian Johnson, Academy Award winner for EFX

It was in fact this movie, and the paint job on the miniatures that, so many decades ago, inspired me to investigate and practice the 'art' of paint weathering. Note the oil-canning effect on the super-tanker? Even then I well knew that I was looking at models, but marveled at how easily I could suspend disbelief because of the perfect weathering job painted on the subject -- Brian Johns and his kind were my professional inspirations.

That MUST have been for a exhibit, movie, or a special one-off for someone....do you still have it???

Yeah, a static display-only model of the Bushnell, TURTLE from American War-of-Independence fame. One built for a museum, the other for a collector. The famous technical illustrator (if you read a Science or Mechanic Illustrated, you know his work), Frank Tinsley worked up the plans I worked from. Here's a good look at this man's great work:
