I pimped up an 'Anyscale Models' one. It is reasonably close to a typical Thames lighter with a bit of work.I'm liking the barge, @Eddie Handyside. I need to build one, but - for me at least - finding plans of these once-common vessels is a frustrating exercise.

Thank, @Eddie HandysideI pimped up an 'Anyscale Models' one. It is reasonably close to a typical Thames lighter with a bit of work.
fascia and lighting to do, what colour for the fascia?
Hi Dave,I'd go for a pale colour, possibly a pastel green. It'll also keep the room bright.
I always use silver or aluminuim as these are unnatural colours and when looking at the layout the eye ignores them unlike greens and browns traditionally used.
If possible avoid black and dark colours as they show the dust and dirt. The best thing to do is buy a couple of small match/sample pots and try them on parts of the fascia.
Thank=you, must get it outside a photograph it in natural light!Morning Eddie.
I've taken the liberty of tweaking one of your images.
I really like the overall scene. Great stuff.
Rob.
