No, shan't, why would we?

Well for no other reason than a visual prop to hum, sing or whistle Belinda Carlisle and the Go-Gos’ ‘Albert the Seal’. A song whose title many still under labour under the mistaken belief was ‘Our Lips Are Sealed’. I suppose the lyrics were distorted by their insistence on singing it from an open car.

A chap or chaps with a Stoner LMG or one of those China Lake pump action grenade launchers would be pretty cool.

Stoner made and ready for action. Just checking what type of Levi Jeans to dress them in.

Any way this its the wrong room to discuss this as its Richard Boat thread.

Hull printed. Just the railing, throttles and splash vane to go as they didn't fit.

Found a pic with a RCL on the back of one...

I'm VERY excited for this - PLEASE make the Medium (MSSC) too!!

Rich H · « **Reply #9 on:** July 27, 2020, 01:36:25 PM »

Not found any drawings for the MSSC. Find me some and I'll take a look

Treadheadz · « **Reply #10 on:** July 27, 2020, 03:12:42 PM »

It would seem actual drawings are near impossible to find - Apart from rough dimensions of 36' long and a 13' beam - The rest is pretty much guesswork...

This person did make a rather plausable 3D render: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/oOx0gm

There should be a more detailed account in Darryl Youngs "The Element of Surprise: Navy Seals in Vietnam" But my copy is somehow lost.

Ah well..

Classic 501's would seem right, though I wonder how often in practice they wound up looking like 'fashionable' ripped jeans?

Treadheadz · « **Reply #12 on:** July 27, 2020, 04:05:48 PM »

Levi's 501's seemed to be the choice - Sometimes dyed black, but often the dye would wash out after only a few insertions, so most just left them blue or dark blue.

Update on the MSSC - From Darryl Young's book (found it)

Length 36 feet
width 12 feet
height 9 feet from top to bottom (including radom) - Photos will help detemining the actual height of the crew compartment.

Basilisk guns? I thought they were banned.

It's a lot harder working from photos sadly plus there is a real risk of getting it very wrong!
