Work continues apace on the first narrow boat for the Piddling Snodsbury Canal Company. Will soon need a canal!

"Will soon need a canal!"

Or a duck pond the length of an Olympic swimming pool

I can't remember but at my age that's normal. Is this an MDF barge, it does look pretty good. When do we see the canal and you do know water wheels aren't on canals so you need a river as well for the mill ;-)

The canal is coming soon! I will say no more for the moment. Vagabond, yes it's an MDF narrow boat from Sarissa. The canal will have an intersection with the mighty River Piddling.

I suppose it becomes the mighty River Piddling shortly after throwing out time at the Stoat and Jockey, or when the latrines back up at Snapcase Hall?
Sarissa seem to do quite a few nice small boats, I nearly bought an African Queen steam powered launch the other day, but resisted in favour of a Geisha Cart and some lanterns.

Yes, I have the other Sarissa narrow boat to do next. Having learnt from the first one, I will be painting this one before assembly!
