It looks really nice. Is it scratch built? Would like to see pictures from the stern section. Did you do the interior also? I love scale model riverboats.

Sorry,its a static model. I'm hopin the county museum here will pick it up. A hundred years ago these boats were the main form of transportation in these parts.
