Thanks guys. I appreciate the compliments, although I still think the scene as a whole has a long way to go. To do list.
1) Complete Car Float - add details, bollards, track bumpers, tie offs, Gas powered winch, etc... on top of that paint and weather as well.
2) Build Tug Model - I am thinking about scratch building the tug. I found a couple of good photos of the "Iris G" a tug used on Slocan Lake (I think?) Regardless, the hull configuration and pilot box etc do not match the Sylvan kit I purchased a year or so ago. To modify it would require more work then necessary, so I think the best option would be to start from scratch... not the easiest option though. However, I'm confident that I can scratch build one.
3) Fix up the back drop in the corner and install the facia.
....then I can think about pouring the water.
I made a cheesy little 5 minute video with my digi cam of the car float operation last night. There is no sound mostly because I have a couple of "animals" in the house who were jumping around like mad last night and making a heck of a racket!
...man I need to get a real video camera... :?
