You know that whole "NO NEW Stuff until all these other projects are FRIGGIN' FINISHED" motif I claimed I was sticking too?
Yeah. yeah. Sheyit.
One of our Club and M/A members wanted to know where the Venezuelan Narco boat was. Out of courtesy I contacted my Oracle of all things US Coast Guard to see if he knew, or knew anyone that knew, how big these overpowered wave-carving, high-speed unlicensed pharmaceutical barges are. Guess the rest?


A 60-foot boat is 2.05" in 1/350 scale. Her beam is .512 inches. These AGM-64 worthy vessels vary from 42' to 60' LOA. Mine's the big one! She'll be molded and cast on-the-step, at speed, like the 93-foot offshore powerboat in the the 1/350 scale 3 mile limit kit.
I saw a video of a fleet of these Monstro-del-Mar boats at anchor. The bow profile looks like a guillotine!
A ton of 1/350 barrels and 5 or 6 200 hp outboards will need molded. USCG HITRON Dolphin and Seahawk helicopters are going to be busy!
Fun fact: 1/350 scale 55-gallon drums are the same size as 1/35 beer cans. I was planning to include these in the new 1/35 scale Wehrmacht stowage set anyway. (I know, I swore that TLAR Models kit was shelved. I'm an Oak.)
I stopped here tonight to make my Sweetie savory spaghetti supper. Well, and to tend Bar for our Happy Hour! 12 inches of snow on the way tomorrow morning!!
It's been a good day! A damn good day!
