Fantastic lashed bamboo additions and canopies!
Looks amazing, ...and they seem to have caught a coelacanth?
Excellent build!

From Vietnam PBR to Amazon river boat... Kr94

Okay… obviously my ichthyology grad student needs a river steamer now.

And it actually floats!!! Shocked

That boat must be enormous - easily 4 feet long, at least?

Like I need another project! Question

What is that loose material you have used on top of the bamboo sunshades?
It looks great and I'd like to use something similar on the roof of my 1/6 Tiki Bar, which also has bamboo.

Thanks again everyone for the positive comments.
The material on top of the bamboo is dried lichen and miss that I bought at a craft store. Comes in a bag. I sprayed adhesive to the bamboo then sprinkled the moss and lichen on top.

Thanks for that info. We can buy that stuff here, but it doesn't look as coarse. More fluffy for making model railroad trees I think.
I will investigate further.

Nice! I was going to make that exact suggestion myself, but I figured the reference would fly so far under the radar that it would crash in to a tree! Happy to know I underestimated my AMMO peers!
cheers

This thing, is what I dreamed of as a child. When dad would take us on walks and my brothers and I would two toy vehicles behind us.
My brother had the Schwimmwagen and I always thought how amazing it would be to have a boat for dolls.
Fantastic work!!!
