Barco Catalan by Gbmodeler - FINISHED - 1:48 Scale - Mediterranean Fishing Boat


Recommended Posts

Even though I plan to keep the hold open and visible, I thought I better build the hatch covers that might normally be seen.  I do not really know what the fishermen did with the hatch when they went out (stowed them or left them on shore), but I decided to stow them under the deck, aft.

Beautiful model! Well done!

 

I saw your photos in the gallery and just scanned through your build log and will go back and study it closer. I love these small, working vessels. Your weathering is wonderful and I've never seen some of the techniques that you have used. Your build log will be a great resource for me.

One of my favourite words, ever since I saw a quote containing it in a book :D
