Congratulations - NICE boat!!  You should be very pleased knowing that it was scratchbuilt.

I like it, but hope you don't mind some constructive criticism?    The glaring fault is that the funnel is too far forward, you should move it back to amidships. (remember there is supposed to be a boiler right underneath!)  You could simply swap the positions of the funnel and the flag pole. The pilot house, instead of a flat roof, could have a small open bridge on top with 3 raised sides. That would be a good place to put a couple more figures. The sides of the deck could be a bit wider for easy movement of figures too.
It could do with an anchor and those ventilator tube thingies. And there is no door in the superstructure sides!
Good work on the deck planks and the paint job!
I look forward to seeing your MK II version... ;)

Thanks guys 12 inch long by 4 wide, yea i know what you mean vodkafan, it was made in two days so it was rushed for the tabletop, is a door right at the back underneath, i saw this on a vessel, thought i like that idea, besides its just for wargaming on a tabletop, but next one i will use the advice, thanks very much..

You've nailed that perfect middle ground of practical, pretty, and not-too-fiddly!  I think I will try to emulate your design when I build mine.  :)  Well done!
