I've been 'flour bomb' priming for years, never knew it had a name. I thought you had developed a new weathering technique using flour lol

Nearing completion 8)

Overall view. I'm not too sure about the mast configuration. Currently, they look as if they don't really serve a purpose. A sunshade might be an option, a crow's nest, or an emergency sail. But for that, the main mast might be to short. Opinions?


The outboard is held in place with a magnet, so it can be removed for tranportation, or turned to indicate a direction change. I doubt Silversixx's rules will account for that, though ;)


Nautical map and something to read. The map was done freehand with a fineliner and acrylics. I hope my Northern neighbours will forgive me butchering their coastlines and overall layout of their countries :-)

Looking good - a nice set of colours. The masts could be the radio receiver?

Love it  8)

How about a tarpaulin (blue  :D ) from the mast to act as a sunshade/weather protector?

cheers

you could put a postapoc block and tackle on the lane between the masts (Movable back and forth between them by another cable). Would fit for a trading raft

Maybe some clean and washed (one hopes) underwear hanging from the line?

 :-* Mr Zafarelli Thats a beauty of a raft. I love all the different shades of rust. It combines into a very complex build, and looks spot on.

I love your spare outboard... Why waste a good build eh?  lol

Fantastic work, I can see this trading up and down rivers at settlements, beautiful in its rusty glory.

Really nice! Very PA. Love the details.

Maybe a little too rusted everywhere though. Looks like it was abandoned and not in use. I would expect less rust inside the cabin at least. I am not an expert on rust.
