Look at the hat. It too is weathered - just like you would expect a white hat to become on a steam launch. Amazing detail.

I always find Bernards models inspiring and something for myself to aim for in my own models.  Detail such as this makes a model so realistic and gives it a life of it's own and I can enjoy simply looking at them and soaking up every little bit.

I dressed up my little man 1/6 scale & was amazed at the cost of some of the items. Socks £5, Overalls £15, Sweater £8...  About what I pay for my clothes :o

Bernhard, please show us the little man.

And I love your beautifully mucky boat.  I can smell the bilge from here.  This sort of detail is rarely seen outside model railways of the highest standards.
Lovely pictures, too, but I would love to see the 1/6th scale man who keeps his boat so dirty!

Regards,
Vintagent
