For a nice effect, add a couple of seagulls to your model from the mast using thin spring wire so that the birds still bounce. Anyoune else tried this? See photo

I get mine from George Turner Models, they are very nicely moulded.

We had one modeler in the Toronto Club who practically used Seagull as a signature on this models. Either on wires pinned to a mast or stack, or stuck on Roofs. It became a challenge to find and count them on his models. Regretably he has passed away, and nobody else has taken up the habit.

Gerald.

This Medway Queen has one, though it could be a dove from the now only-available-on-ebay 'Britains Ltd, Floral Garden' range....

Go to almost any cheap seaside tat store and you will find them stuck onto lots of bits of crap, costing almost nothing.

 Why not model a figure of the bosun with a shotgun to explain the missing birds?. regards, walter.
