I'm building a model of LV wooden barge #79 and have a few questions and would like to talk with anyone else who's done a model of this, or other rail/marine modelers. I'm lucky enough to live in Brooklyn and can go see the barge and talk with captain David Sharps but still have questions....
What is a good color match in Floquil or other model paints for the barge when it was in service? I'm modeling 1950s era. And what color were the bitts and cleats painted?
I've seen photos of barge roofs where the tarpaper material appeared whitish or silver...what about LV #79?
Are there any LV decal sets (or alphabet sets) that come close?
I'm sure I'll think of other questions and would love to hear from anyone who's interested in this topic. Thanks, John
