Many years ago whilst visiting a hobby shop, I saw two small scale Russian submarines that I thought the hulls of looked a lot like Greenland kayaks. The kits were being blown out at 99 cents each. When I went to pay for them I told the shop owner, "They might look like Russian subs but they're ging to be 1/35 scale Greenland kayaks." He was so impressed that he ave me the two kits. I did buy a lot of other kits that day though.
A fellow and his lady friend are on a trip and are enjoying a day on the water whilst paddling along in their home-built Greenland style kayaks.
These are how the kayaks look now with the superstructure removed and a coating of tissue paper over them to cover the hull and create the kayak decks. The coamings around each cockpit is mage from Evergreen plastic. I'm going to separate the three strands of the white cord and use those for a number of transverse decklines. I need to apply some putty to the hull to cover some cracks.

Here is a slightly different view. The reason for using tissue to cover the craft is to make it look like fabric.
This is a view of the parts I will be selecting from to build a female and male figure for the kayaks.
The figure on the left will have the upper torso, head and ponytail from the female figure in the Tamiya Russian Tank Crew at Rest set. Her lower torso and arms are from an Italeri Jeep driver.
The parts ob the right will be used to make her male companion. I need to decide which torso and head to use, The grey parts are also from that Tamiya Russian Tank Crew set.
The legs of both figues will be cut off at the knees so that the figure will fit in the kayak.
More to come soon.
Thanks for looking.
