It all looks fantastic! The boat is especially good.  :-* :-* :-*
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Cheers Carlos.

Did you hand paint the flag?!?

Luckily it came with the kit, made of paper just cut out and glue with a bit of PVA. I did go over the edges to cover the white.

Did a deep bits box dive in search of something I thought might look better than just plastic bamboo for the roof. Has been sitting in a little bag for years, waiting...



Will chuck plastic leaves ontop once they are painted.

Thanks very much Rich, your boat design is superb. Looking forward to the SEAL LSSC.

Little bit more done, added some plastic bamboo bits




Crew pretty much finished

This is really not helping - like - AT ALL.

I am trying to convince myself that I don't need that patrolboat.

@ Ultravanillasmurf:  Thanks very much. It's a very nice model to paint, and the crew are excellent, particularly the faces.

Awesome!

Are you going to put it in water?

Thanks Erik. Not sure what I'm going to do with it, doubt it will fit into a KR case, so probably going to have to make a storage box for it to live in.

Museum quality stuff Ash! That really is superb. :-* :-*

Cheers Carlos, that's a great complement.

Fantastic work,right down to the copy of Penthouse. Love it :-*

Had to be done, amazed my crappy printer managed it.

I don't know, I think you need the boat. You know you want it, it's very nice... Did that help?

Here's a few close ups.









Sort of lost Chief Phillips in the shadows...and forgot to paint the C ration can on the M60.
