Hi All,

And hi, Madbrit. Fine build of your model. I'm not familiar with the boat, but it appears to be a double-ended, armed ferry. And if you know, what is the bumper-like construction at the bow end of the boat?

The boat is most likely named after, Mendota, Minnesota, one of the oldest towns in our state. The word Mendota is a Dakota word meaning, "the junction of one river with another." And fittingly, the small town of Mendota, MN is found at the junction of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers.

I like your modeling of the water, too.

Score and fold,

Thumb Dog
