Welcome to my site focusing mainly on modeling inland river work boats, aka towboats or push boats. I build primarily in 1:48 scale so items modeled are referenced in that scale unless otherwise noted.

There are many pages with lots of info on towboats and techniques for modeling them.

 

Great place for all your modeling needs.
