If only you could get hold of grey expanded foam to avoid the annoying white showing through. Hm...….

Yes Ian that would have been great! In fact, you could build this whole structure in a much more scale way. I just took what I had in the house and modified along the way. Again I went for function over accuracy. Perhaps I will make another one some day...
All the best!

Oh no, don't worry Hama, yours is very pleasing as it both provides a spectacle for you and viewers to see a mode ferry doing what it does in real life, and it saves you scraping your paint off the hard edge of the jetty each time you bring her in.


I'm just looking at what you did and adapting it to what I have around or could get hold of to make one for the club. We don't have any ferries per se, but it would be good to see something similar used.

Hello!
I decided to rebuild the hull and make it a little more scale like. Out with the Dremel and start cutting. It's now completed and it's time to reinstall all the gear and make a float test to see how it has affected her buoyancy.
All the best and merry Christmas!
