Colonial steamer pt. 7

Finished a fair bit of work on the pilothouse. The outer layer is done with cardboard, the rest of the structural work is obviously balsa. The searchlight on the top is a Reviresco piece. The sun shades on the sides are stowage pieces from a Tamiya 1/48 kit, and the front window is made out styrene held up by paperclips.


And that's the pilothouse. I have some accessories to place inside, and some interior decorating planned but that's for another day.



And in the grand tradition of men riding strange animals, here's another picture:
