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.
