Excellent ship, the painting is also spot-on.

For the name: Hannah ?

Well... thank you very much for your kind words! :)

Painting the rust was very simple. Orange. Period.
And to make it stand out on light colours, a backgronud in very dark bronw does the job.

As GamerMac pointed out correctly, she was scratchbuilt.
And it was a quite simple job (following GamerMac "how-to") adding some easy features (red/green lights, Plimsoll line, winch).

@Argsilverson: indeed! One of Old Ones secondary effect is to rust things. I have to admit that it's not the worst!

Now I'm waiting for some Artizan sailors, and I've to start the next project...  ;)
I think you'll have my news in few days.

That is one beautiful boat.  :-*

When I saw her, the first name that popped into my head was "Sally". I don't know why but I think it suits her.

The Sally, Trawler, out of Spitzbergen. Joint Norwegian and American ownership. Crew of 12 (missing)...


Although as Argsilverson says, Maria is applicable anywhere in the world so may be of more use to you.  :)

You asked for a name?

Hannah or Maria is way to simple. What about FRIDA. It is pulpy and ABBA.  Then you can have your own Waterloo on the Waterside. Two flies, one swat ;D ;D
