    nice model  :whistle: :whistle:
    Cheers guys,
    She still needs the name boards painted, and general deck clutter added.
    Im having a problem as to what clutter to add, keeping the items in period with 1932. I know that quarter cran baskets would have been carried, but how on earth would you build a scale one!!!?
    What other items would look good on her decks??  A wooden bucket perhaps? Herring shovel? HELP!

    Barry :)
