Email Sarissa, they have a kit for cargo barges ready to go.  Cab takes 2 or so figures and the loading area take 25mm bases too.  They are waterline size so dont need base cutting off.  If enough people email they will get them on the site faster.

If enough interest a dutch style barge will be in the offing too.

That will do me.

And I am one of the 'I dont like MDF' crew... ;)

Seriously, MDF is fine if you are treating it as a base to work on, which you have.
I have no objections to using it if you are going to put a little effort in.

Straight out of the packet and on to the table, and it looks exactly what it is.

Superb paint job!

I'm not sold on the cabin, it's too tall, should only come to chest height at most. The joins are a little obvious too.

That said, the hull looks good and that's the hard part to make (having done it in the past). I'd be happy to give the kit a go.

I agree with the - basis for work on, its what the kits are all about to me.

The cab is designed to have figures inside, and as its also designed as a waterline model, you cant sink the figure into the hull... 

I threw the kit together, not to hide how it goes together, but to show its simplicity.
