Unlike the "Hercules" version of the name board, the Cheryl Ann boards have raised lettering and were painted. Wish I had the real deal for both sides!

The brass was very tarnished, so I wanted to break the whole assembly down and polish everything. This turned out to be quite a chore!
My box of parts contained a bag full of unused rail posts. This was extremely fortunate, because the used posts I salvaged were not responding well to the Brasso.

At last all the pieces come together: The tugboat model, the base, the display case, the nameplate and the backdrop.
Exhausting, but the results are worth it!
The problem with building out a 50 year old model kit is that you really, REALLY want to protect it from harm. Plus, you want it to look great on display.
We tried finding an acrylic case large enough to house the approximately 2' long x 1' tall completed tugboat, but nothing was available locally.
Internet to the rescue! We custom ordered a case from Collectible Grading Authority, and they did an awesome job!
I had to steal the brass railing from another deck in my box of parts.
That deck has seen better days!
Once I had cleaned up the original brass wires, it was time to take the new posts and reassemble the railing.
I used yet another lower cabin deck from my parts collection to re-thread and bend the railing back into shape. This way, I didn't have to worry about scratching up my finished deck assembly.
This window is at the back of 'the Dutch-looking building' on Northgate Street and is on the north side of Great Yarmouth Row 5, Split Gutter Row.
The completed assembly is getting the glosscote treatment.
I debated whether or not to mask off the windows before doing this, but I ultimately decided not to. I'm glad, because it gave the windows a semi-frosted decorative appearance.
