Snag Barge 1861

Great detail on this lift device. I imagine it must have taken a bit of time to get all the fiddly bits in place.

Well, she's done!
Final pictures of the 1861 Snag Barge in 1/72 by C.T.'s PaperClads.

Aft showing the work boat as I imagined it carried. It just didn't seem as if it could be forward and there was no room on the sides.

Roof of the Crew quarters showing a saw sharpening table and saw I scratched much as seen in the photo supplied with the model

My roof lifts off showing the inside structure as well as the cook stove and table furnished.

The "Machine" used to pull the stumps and snags from the river bottoms; much like pulling teeth. The tackle is mine.

Forward view

Side view
The model went together well with no fit problems.
The mechanism is a little fiddly so pay attention
The model will do very well in a diorama setting due to the high detail and weathering Corey included.
It looks very much the hard-used work boat it was intended to portray.

Thank you.

I added the liners to be printed on 20 pound bond paper or regualar printer paper and added a few more images to the kit to help the builder, and sent it off to Chris. Should be available soon over at ECardmodels.com Shop. Thanks again for a great test build!

You're welcome, and thanks for allowing me to be the first to build this one. Let me get the Christmas busy time over and I'll be ready for more.
