In the South

[torikoos]

forgive me if I overlooked it, but how did you make/where did you get the harbour backscene/backdrop? It looks great, although I'm not 100% sure of the scale of the nearest ship, it looks a tad bit too large (out of scale), being an ex sailor myself....

ps. having a closer look I agree, the green ship is to large. It a small vessel going in the north and baltic sea only. Don't know the English name in German it is called a "Kuestenmotorschiff" in short "Kümo" (? coaster ?).

Yes it's a coaster indeed, in dutch its a kustvaartschip. (that's where I'm originally from :-) ) . I'm familiar with the type, although I never sailed on them, they are quite small. Those bridge windows are about 1meter to 1.50meter in height depending on the size and design, so that gives you a bit of a reference. The other ship is no problem, it's a larger type, and it is sitting further away,it appears to be some kind of bulk carrier, in fact with the distance it doesn't matter if it is not quite to scale, it either seems a little closer or further away. Yet it is very well done, and I like how you've blended the backdrop and the layout together! Koos
