I thought exactly the same! This means that the print is very good quality, doesn't it?

And which joint are you talking about, Tim? Can't see any!Nice build!

Rgds,

Better picture of the hull joint:

Another picture of the same technique on their tugboat model:

It seems to make for a nice join

Tim, you do know that binnenschiffs are powered, and not barges?

The hull looks excellent.

a long ornamental boat used for pleasure or ceremony.
a boat used by the chief officers of a warship.

verb

That's interesting. In NA, barge is not generally used to describe a powered vessel, except as a slur!

Great job so far! Look forward to seeing more. Nice work on that tug mod, as well!

Finished:

Overall I don't think I've done too bad a job. Could have done far better in certain areas.

This would be a really great kit to upgrade and add detail to.
