"Papanui" - Coastal Trader


"Papanui" is a freelance model scratchbuilt from card and wood, again with air vents and lifebats being the only commercial items used. She is based on the typical "60 Milers" and coastal ships that were operating up and down Australia's east coast for most of the 20th century. She is most closely based on "Himitangi" (ex-"Coolebar") however wihout the longer stern section of the prototype.
