HO scale oreboat

[KevinKrey]

Until I can get working on a layout again I've been working on a few small projects. One of which is an ore boat that will eventually go alongside my ore dock. I'm scratchbuilding the model out of styrene and basing the model off of the Joseph L Block, a ship that frequently visits the ports that ill be modeling. In HO scale the model would be almost 11 inches wide by over 10 feet long, so I'm gonna use a little selective compression and make my model 8x75 inches. Here are some pictures of the start that I have so far.
