Ok it's 99.9% done ….. I added the upper roof, chopped the top windshield, added a cabin floor, stairs, interior, and I scratch built a sink, bench & table/bed , a girl figure, cabin lighting...… still have to polish & clean up a few rough areas on it  & I haven't glued the mast on yet, or the vent, ( which I scratch built, the one in the kit is way too big ) ….. and I'm not sure where I'll locate the anchor ….. I don't think I'll plunk it on the front deck though; it kinda clutters the look ; and …. I painted "MM" on the motors, just for now - using a water base marker; until I can think of a better solution !!  . The last pick is of a built up from an unknown builder, just to give you an idea of what I had to work with; as far as what the box stock build is; compared to what I did. It was pretty tough at times, but overall I really enjoyed it …. & it really took me far off my comfort zone !!!        |

Looks really good. Wood work looks like real mahogany to me. Anchor was usually stored in forward compartment along with ropes and life vests.

Thanks Paul, I have zero clue of anything pertaining to boats - I asked Dominick & he mentioned that as well & that it probably was stored in that "hatch thing" ….. I also asked him what purpose that mast would serve & if it was just for a flag ? …….. I don't like the look of it where the instructions suggest ( in front of the top window ) ; so I think I'll just mount a flag at the rear |

I wish I had a real one. Nice work Rick. I am surprised there are no blowers or injectors sticking out.
