@Hammers

This is getting more and more interesting, and our new project will be compatible, one way or another, that I am sure of, or will make sure of it heh.

Regarding the boat, I will actually ask Kalle, this is really his area of expertise. He is a båtmensch as you know.

So, as a mean to recover myself from a smarting defeat in a recent bidding war over a house (as spoken of in another thread) I have immersed myself in my CRotA tugboat sub-project:



It is not an easy kit when it comes to the details, but I don't mind if it doesn't come out perfect. I want it to look like a worn old thing so I'll use that as an excuse. I was today thinking I would be able to show the complete assembled but yet unpainted kit, but when it came down to it I realize there are still a small list of things to do to. There is still some puttying and sanding to be done. Anchors and life vests are not in place, chains for the winch, cockpit deck, smoke stack rigging, cleats mahogany window frames and doors and main ship's bell. In addition to that, once it is painted  I want to add some fender tires and random ropes and stowage.

Also, today I found an acceptable gaming matt. 10 square meters (2x5.5) of beige somewhat mottled bathroom flooring which I think can pass as silty river water. It is lays flat, it's solid it is somewhat glossy and can be rolled up for storage but, goddamn!, the bastard's heavy! I hope it'll be manageable as I cut it down to my calculated need of 6 sq.m. (2 by 3).

Lovely work Peder on the tug, well done. You now need a cat to make up the remainder of the crew.

Cheers,

Helen
Best wishes,

Pedro!  lol

I'm calling him that from now on. At least I know how to pronounce it.


I have to admit it is a rather lovely little barky.

Sorry, I have enough trouble coming up with a name I like for the barky itself.

...

How about 'Sixten' for  the cat? Or 'Freya'?
