Nice work Andy, regardng weathering, these vessels were pristine except for the deck and stern roller which unavoidably got a hammering with the heavy anchors handling. In the oil industry the operators (oil companies) insists on very well maintained vessels, plenty of money, not like the poor trawlers of old.

I did think of weathering this vessel but as im totally new to boats i have no reference to what it should look like. Ive searched the net for the Happy Hunter but have not been able to find much on her. The pics i do have have always shown her to be highly maintained and as you say in 'prestine; condition. The next problem i will have is with the type of weathering materials, as this boat will be used on the water and im not sure what i can use for weathering apart from the paints ive painted her with. Probably best to keep her looking like new for now.Cheers
