If anything, I like the steam dredger more than Juno, but in any case a very nice pair of models. Dean, you should be very proud of them both.

If it looks right it probably is.

What a nice boat especially as she is built from recycled etc materials. Looks like a refuelling barge or river tanker. Excellent attention to detail. Well done Dean.

Info from Buxton Model Boat Club member and builder Dean.
Juno is quite a basic flat bottomed boat, mainly due to my very basic modelling skills, and is intended to be a bunkers barge. She is roughly 1.24 scale, approximately 43 inches by 8 inches and is made from recycled and up cycled materials wherever possible. She has a single rudder and propeller, powered by a single motor from a drill, and two 6v lead acid batteries.
She is a totally freelance design, but I took inspiration from Humber barges such as the Humber Princess, which I used as a rough plan for the deck layout.
As a foot note to Juno, when I built her, I also built a second hull at the same time almost identical, but with a different deck layout. This became Elsa, my steam dredge barge.
