Out of interest, how did you make the mast clamps?

 Very simple. Tube of the right diameter, side nearest the bench painted to match. The brackets are just plastic card.rod. Straps are self adhesive label. HTH

I don't know how I ever missed this thread Kev, but somehow I did. Have just spent  some time catching up from the start whilst devouring my porridge. What can I say other than superb modelling all around, starting with the small building and all its accoutrements, and now that boat. It's all an amazing work of art that doesn't leave out any detail. Really top notch stuff!

I've tried to make it look used. I don't think there would be much underwater growth. The discolouration below the waterline I did with  a pin wash of various colours. Note I've stopped it short of the top of the anti fouling, I don't imagine there were many times she was fully loaded.

Calling the Crabber finished inside and out

Oars, boathook, thole pins rudder and tiller. Mizzen plus outrigger and mizzen sail (used to steady the boat when fishing.

If anyone noticed that the centre thwart was missing the knees, this was so that it was removable when fishing to give more space.

thole pins

Lost me from there Kev, obviously olde-worldy technical speak. Looking most excellent, you feel as though you can just climb and go for a spin...except for the over-sized pen. :goodjob:
