I really love this build!

Are those draft marks homemade or PE from the Eduard set? They look great on Barb's stern. I've got to remember to do something like that when I get back to my stalled Hardhead build. It also looks like you've done at least some of the piping underneath the deck, like the diesel exhausts. May I ask what plans you used for that? Its a really neat addition.

Not meant as a criticism of your superb work, just a question, but didn't Barb have the full length wooden deck?

Beautiful work!!  Could you explain your techniques and materials used for the fairweather railings?  They look great.
