Calling this done (there are some figures and some small accessories to add when they come). But, the main boat and the fitments are all finished.

So, here she is 'JOANNE' named after my wife...I am aware that my wife's name now adorns a rusty, old, barge...any similarity is purely coincidental.

Final pieces added, are a jerry can near the red fuel tank, ropes, crane cargo lift, ladder and a hatch light.

I have here on the canal sections, I know she is high but the coastal types are high sided, just adds to the sparse canal pieces.

Thanks for looking.

Excellent result Si.......With a Figure or two it will help put this in scale and should set it off nicely. :thumb2: Rick H.

Thanks Rick, glad you like her.
As is always with me, I have gone back and am building a capstan with some chain-although a unpowered towed barge they did have a anchor if they needed to stop in a bay etc for a while, just need a anchor. I also painstakingly went back to the rust and added some rust spots. And knowing me, there will probably be something else I will find :tongue-out2:

As you say a couple of figures will bring her to life and make he seem more real and used.

Funnily enough, I sat in the workshed and looked at her and thought, why the hell am I doing all this work for something that is just a prop and folk will look at from 10ft away? Answer, cos I can and I love it....and, I just cannot help myself LOL.

Cheers Ron, you know that my speciality is...well, worn and battered :smiling4:

I have, as usual, gone back, made a capstan/windlass with some chain and a anchor (of sorts), added some other small bits as decoration.

UPDATE

As promised some more pictures of the small detail parts I was making-some of them was a afterthought as, is normal with me.

I made a windlass/capstan out of a label making machine cassette spool, chain added and some metal for the handle.

Made a ladder for inside and a grab handle.

Cargo hatch light.

Cargo area pallet and attachments for the crane.

Stern grid plate so crew can access fuel tank, also I found resin jerry can, bits missing but for me it will do.

Made two pallets for sacks and drums.

Made a ladder with swivel metal piece (watch strap clasp and some steel wire) for attaching to the side of the barge.

It gets even better as they weren't quite so obvious in the full shots. Great work indeed.

Very well done.

Thank you Andrew, glad you like the additions, I normally have another idea and then have another rummage and find something I can use LOL.
