For the loading ramp, I don’t like this.

Better. A hammered and abused ramp is more believable to me. Never did I see a pristine ramp unless Admiral was aboard. I’ll sand it out slightly to make the wear more to scale. A small pleasure to build something, then scuff and file it all up. 🙂

Some work on the bow; starting to rig the ramp.

K-9 has finally arrived to sweep cargo. Apparently they were stuck in traffic.

A well used ramp.

Great job on the ramp, putting figures on the boat  brings them to life it seems. I have a Mark Twain figure on mine, waiting for company, 18 people and some livestock.  Still sitting in the box. Boy your boat is getting crowded, looking great thought.

Of course. Have you ever experienced something of the like without a decent crowd? Especially when the company has gone long with repairs and upgrades. Everyone bites at the VIP cruise, it’s good for business. The weather is getting better, people are feeling good…

 

This is what I want to convey with my model.
