[MOC] Small Shrimping Boat

[adwind]

Hi folks! This is my latest MOC, I was inspired by Motorized Lighthouse set and my daughter who asked for a boat to go with the Lighthouse :) 

I tried to make it as playable as possible but at the same time I wanted it to have a display value, so I've added the unfold mechanism like real shrimpers have and a display stand that suppose to look like those trendy epoxy tables. There are 2 minifigures (Anna and her grandpa) and their playful doggie!
I also made a short stop motion animation to tell a little story about the build. Hope you like it!

That's really nice. Love the mason bricks on their side for the cab.

So, I decided to make this image to have a better idea of how it fits some current sets:

Hi,

@adwindFirst of all: I was just on the coast and was looking for inspiration for a fishing boat and stumbled across this beautiful boat.
Which part that is at the bottom of the bow (boat part?)? I can't find one in Bricklink that has these dimensions and none in this color (Sand Green?). I assume that it is 8x10.
