Well done, Keith. It's been a real pleasure to follow along with the genesis of this great project.

 

I wonder how you top it?

  Thank you, John. I'm glad you enjoyed following along. I like off the beaten path subjects, hopefully I'm able to accurately portray a frozen moment in time. .

Great fun to watch your progression as well as admiration for the craftsmanship at this wee scale.  Thanks for your frequent posting to keep the lot of us enthralled, Keith.

I also quite enjoy seeing both projects together.

 Thank you very much, Craig. It was a fun project made so with the help of you and everyone else involved in this journey.

Absolutely spectacular job on that load. Wouldn't change a thing. Looks so good. In fact, I'm going to show these photos to a bunch of people and tell them to "get a load of this!"

 

(American slang from my youth for those who might not get it, meaning "take a look at this").

 

I would look to see another photo of the fleet with an item for scale, you know, like a pinhead or something.

 

This has been so fun and rewarding to follow and I thoroughly enjoy the niche you've carved out for yourself in these workboats.

 Eric, thank you for the kind words and for putting my mind at ease regarding the material coloration.

Congratulations, what a great build! Excellent eye for detail on the drying sand and the barge floating low. It's been very fun to follow along, and a good reminder of just how much detail you can fit at even a tiny scale.

 Thank you very much, Jacques. You've provided great painting tips that certainly helped me here.

Congratulations on finishing another build Keith. That weathering is gorgeous and nearly perfect (nothing can ever be really perfect, can it?). They look great together! 

 

And a big thank you to keep this place alive. Your high pace of building and posting, gives all of us a good reason to daily visit this place (and have a good laugh from time to time)!

  Thank you very much, Roel. Caring for Maggie has left me with modeling as my only fun activity, that and interacting with my MSW family. You guys mean the world to me!

 Thank you, Phil. Kinda funny we both finished builds at the same time. I guess it was in the cards. 

[GrandpaPhil]

Yep, lol!

Congratulations Keith.  Another great build.  Very realistic load on the barge.  The two builds look good together.

Can't wait for the next build.
