Carlos, Tom, Stuart..thank you. Don’t get too excited, though. This is all only around 15 or so parts. All of the stuff on the superstructure is molded in.

Too much, I think. I don't like the "dirty green water" mark I tried, but it is what it is. The cabin is just sitting in place. Still a lot to do, like windows. They wre nice on the designing of this. they can go in from the outside! With the coiled rope, I was going for a white/brownish look as I would expect the lines to be.
