Looks good, seems like a sort of Coast Guard Icebreaker / Research Vessel / Cable Laying Ship / Light Cargo ship, super cool! Props to you for single handedly propping up the entire boats section of the forums pretty much
The cabin you see is a Jbeam structure of the cabin. I think I will be posting a video clip next week.
Ko-fi uses Paypal, so it doesn't matter what currency you use, it converts it automatically. I haven't heard bad claims about this site from other users.
Working on a crane and stairs - there are going to be over 10 stairs, most of them for the cabin. Added some liferafts also.
kofi/gumroad are the most used in paid mods imo (ive used both) gumroad is better in terms of ease of use and interface
Some pics of the crane. Tuning this crane took some effort to get rid of the nasty resonances - finally got it working right. These cylinders actually lift and push the boom - they are not just visual.
