Nice work,
Is the layout there to support the ship model or is the ship there to support the railroad?
Great modeling on both counts. Model ship building is interesting but other than the Ruby Belle the only other scratch built boat I would want to try is a Viking long boat Any Ideas as to weather there are any Viking figures out there suitable for a boat? Now kits and kit bashing there are a couple 1:48 scale tug kits that Micro mark tools has that would be neat.
It is neat how that model railroading combines with other hobbies and interests and keeps the past time fresh. Tropical fish, stamps, Baseball cards and rock collecting all came and went as I got board with them. Still have my cards mostly from mid 80's till late 90's with some 70's cards that survived. I got pretty good at keeping the fish till the point of having frequent population explosions as I liked sword tail fish and when they are happy and healthy the reproduce almost as much as the common guppies(feeder fish). Anyway my current hobbies all feed back into model railroading in one way or another .
