I started out making a cleat for the platform for my swamp shack, but since it is way out of scale I will use with a 1/35 scale rowboat I recently purchased. I have since done some research and I have found other styles that would have been easier to construct and will look a whole lot better than this attempt.
I suppose one scale is just as good as another when scratch building. At 8.709mm equaling one foot, it will give you ample opportunity for details.
Some assembly is required. There are two oars, a plank for a seat, and a buffer that will need to be put in place. The resin piece will need a little clean-up with a file and then painted and weathered.

Although I don't have any imediate plans for this piece, it did catch my eye and I decided to purchase the piece. It will be added to my "small" projects, those that can be completd within a few hours. It also requires the new label of "boat".
Box art can be found at Scalemates.
