Narrowboat?

Hi all, I have been searching for a narrowboat model but can't find on DAZ or Rendo ... I have an old model by Merlin, but it doesn't seem to have materials, it's just the narrowboat. I am hoping for an updated model (Merlin, you out there? :D ) ... one that is more intricate and has several materials? (Pie in the sky: what I'd REALLY love is a narrowboat in bright green with murals of the Frog Prince and a child Princess with masses of curly read hair, and lily pads all over ... no, really. lol!) ... thoughts? - Thanks!

Thanks guys; they all look like architectual drawings, but I have downloaded an .obj zip - don't really know what to do with the other formats. But it looks like just the object in the file. I'm sure I can work out how to import it into DAZ and maybe make a UV map from it in StitchWitch, then try making textures for it. Thanks for the input! :)
If you are talking about the one from CGTrader, it's already UV mapped...so you will just need something to export them with. But it uses Booleans fro th hatches, so it's not going be very pretty in Studio.
I think my best bet is to go back to Merlin's older narrowboat model and try to UV that ... if there isn't one in the zip folder already. Won't have time to experiment now for a few days though. Thanks for the input!
The dae version of the CGTrader one actually imports cleaner/nicer into Studio than the obj version. Not a bad looking boat, but yeah, there's no texture set for it, just diffuse colors set.
Well that's a blast from the past! It was a Poser prop so was UVmapped and textured, so you should have everything you need. I've PM'd you
