Draf Model - Western River
Took a short break from warships to build the DrafModel Western River. The model is pretty straight forward and easy to build. I fabricate a bunch of crates as these boats rarely plied the rivers without crago.

It may have been a break from warships, but looks like you needed to put quite a bit of work into it. Great looking river boat.

Cargo, indeed! I have always liked this postcard of a riverboat loaded with bales of cotton.

Nice work on the Western River!

I really like these boats, you did a very nice work!
I am also planning on building one.
It seems to me that on the postcard, the cotton bales are keeping the boat afloat ...

Nice work on that. Not a subject that’s gets modelled frequently.
