SHANTYBOAT
SHANTYBOAT (scratchbuilt)
A shantyboat is a small crude houseboat (also called a flatboat, broadhorn, barge, scow, or ark). There is a long forgotten history in America of people living in homemade shantyboats, a reasonable and cost-free solution for displaced people in rural areas and workers in urban areas.

Thank you Spiros. I love this diorama too. Maybe one day I can finish the other shantyboat diorama.

I used a few shantyboat photos while making it and there is still a shantyboat that looks very close to this one. Fantastic.

Nice. A refuge from outside pressure. I like the way you made the water look . a slightly acidified look that back waters tend to do. Great job.

Thank you Bernard. I made water with resin. Infact I don't like resin but this diorama wants it. I made some some videos about making if you interest.

Agree on the previous comment, Gökhan @gokhan_arican
This diorama and especially the water looks perfect.

That is so cool, and so well done! 😎 👍
All it needs is a big ol' rat somewhere! 😄
