Very cool Piet , thanks man . Will come in handy for my Border 1/35th scale BF 109 project . BF 109 sans wings loaded on a Das Werk truck and trailer .

Thanks guys , a little more progress ...............

A little more work .............

Actually that's a good price for a 1/24th scale boat AND trailer . I've seen a lot more pricey 1/35th scale offerings , don't even go there when it comes to 1/32nd scale zoomies and string bags . The details look a tad soft , shame they don't do 1/35th scale stuff .

Thanks Pup !!! The sportsfisherman boat I did was a completed PBR I built back when Tamiya first released it . I had to cut it up and gut it pretty good to reuse the hull . I bought a brand spankin new Pbr for this build .

Thanks guys !!! I bought another PBR , this time I'll be making a center console with inboards . DISCLAIMER : The exhaust ports should be at water line not below it , poor engineering on my part .

Pretty much done , always more weathering and additions/scatter around the bus .

That's amazing BroSki !!! Fer , real , real , 1/1 scale building ............ Hey man you doing your firewood yet ?

Still lots of weathering to do . Rhino , I build on two foot square bases so basically the modules can be put together for an unlimited area . Ian , thanks man !!! Heavens Eagle good luck man , test fit everything three times and play chess with the build , think three or four moves ahead , cuz...

Outstanding scratch skills BroSki !!!!

Sorry Rhino , I forgot to answer your question . Shark species here on the south Jersey coast and deep water depend a lot on the Gulf Stream . Traditionally , Blue , Mako , Thresher and Tigers are deeper water sharks here . When the Gulf Stream is closer to the coast you can get all of the above...

Beautiful work BroSki , beautiful work ..................

Always lovin your painting skills BroSki !!! 1/1 scale brilliance !!

Guess I'm calling this done , she'll be on a trailer or up on blocks next to the diner . Tell ya what , if I was still a drinking man , making those bow railings and the bow pulpit woulda had me using a whole bottle of modelers helper [ aka Jack Daniel's ] . I'm having cataract surgery in Oct...

Yeah , defo extend the trunk to have the branches overhang the roof .

Yup , got seven , eight $ a pound back in the mid eighties .

As a young surfer back in the late 60's we used to call all sharks " the landlord " . The caption story on this photo read ...... Hooked a Mako , long hard fight then suddenly no fight and this is what we reeled up to the boat .

Pup , back in the mid 80's , did a lot of shark tournaments , my favorite ride , I loved running that boat .

Yeah , you're right , I mentioned that in an earlier post about having it " raked " back a little more Too late now , but lessons learned .

Got a lot more done , still want to scratch some more fishing poles , ........ tuna sticks . Everything you see is now permanent , glued and I'm screwed ............. I forgot to make the bow railing and bow pulpit , which would have been a much easier task before gluing everything down ...
