HO Scale Lifeboats (and some larger vessels, too)

[JaBear]

By being allowed to participate on this forum has, for me, opened a “big can of worms”, “the Curse of the Slippery Slope”. I look around not only here in “Scratchbuilding and Kitbashing” but also the other sections and am constantly inspired to try harder, so even though I may not have even commented on your threads or postings, I wish to thank you all and an especial thanks to those whose comments here have further encouraged me.  
I have come to the conclusion that the ferry is now at the 90% done, 90% to do stage, and that I now have to be careful to make sure that I assemble everything in the correct order.  I am thinking that the last thing I’ll be doing is the railings especially around the forward cabins bridge and associated stairs as, I think, they need to be tied together.
This also involves the placement of the lifeboats on the cabin roof and as I had mentioned on page 2, eighteen months ago, I was, for ease of making and fitting, going to model radial davits. However your collective consciousness has pricked my own and as a result, also after close scrutiny of the photos, I think that a type of quadrantal davit was used, so.....
   

......while it needs tidying up; I’m actually quite happy with the result. Now I just have to complete five more.
Thanks for looking,
Cheers, the Bear
