Well I am doing the parts now. In 1/250 scale this thing is small. But build-able, I think. I decided to brighten up the ferry with an off white color and bright red trim. The tops of the deck houses and the underside of the deck overhang are a coal tar gray for cheap water proofing. The hiull will be off white. I also painted the bridge supports (the braces that go midships) a bright red as well. These supports were an add on by some ferry operators to give the area over the turn table additional support. The Deck is left in a scrubbed hardwood color. The deck planking would have been replaced often so I didn't age it at all. A few stains a scrapes later in gimp.

OK, the 1/250 scale full hull is ready to go. Anyone want to give it a try? It is just over 60 parts. It is a one page model, so it is quite small.

I dearly wish I had time, was a better builder, and had a decent camera ...

The small 1/250 scale will be released as a set with the flat boat and work barge. But I will need test builds to proceed.

My buddy Henryk Schoepe is taking the plunge and building this full hulled version. I will post some of his WIP pics. Enjoy!
He also found a few small corrections too, if you build this model you may want to alter the formers and sides slightly as he has done!

And the build by Henryk continues! The hull and bracing is done, after a bit of sanding and painting!
