I see what you mean about the finish. This looks great as well.

Any thought of detailing the foe vents on the hood?

Thanks for the info. Those are beautiful looking examples, but a little rich for my blood. As for the sound of the inboards, I have attended the wooden boat show a few times at Lake Tahoe and I agree with you about the sound. As I recall YouTube has some videos that you can look at from shows of the past. One in particular is a 40 ft+ Cabin Cruiser with a Stainless-Steel roof over the main parlor. The boat is powered by twin Allison engines. You will know when it starts.

Great looking paint finish and color, not usually seen on a Corvette. Goes well with the white interior.

I haven't heard of them. Do you have a site I can look at them? The old Cris Craft boats along with the Reva boats are works of art in my mind. Since you like wood boats you should look up the annual boat show at Lake Tahoe online.

Thank you for sharing your photos.

Beautiful looking Ski Boat. Like the engine detailing and the crank and mooring details.

I agree with you on this kit. I built one a couple of years ago and look forward to seeing yours, I may even build another since I like the 1:1 car and as you pointed out, this is a really nice kit. I'll be looking over your shoulder.

Both of these are great looking builds. The colors and the finish fit both and the interior detailing on both look great.

Great looking little sleeper. Nice looking paint and color along with the interior. The engine looks like it might have come that way when new. Like the dash change you did and the way you detailed everything.

Hi Carl, thanks for looking. This build has a resemblance of a '51 Ford I had to many years ago, but with a built Flathead.

Beautiful looking paint finish and an ideal color for this. The body trim is all cleanly done, and I like how you did the door and body seems so that they are more realistic looking.

Like the idea and your build look great.

Beautiful looking finish and color. Like the engine detailing. As you mentioned there are some short comings with the basic kit, but when assembled and detailed like this you don't really notice them so much.

Great looking build. I wish that they would offer some different small boat kits like this. I built one using this same basic kit but added the interior and jet drive setup conversion and replaced the Hemi with a blowen big block Chevrolet for power.

Most kits provided lower as well as upper, hoses don't seem to line up or are almost imposable to install without either being too long or too short. Just as you would use a small diameter "pin" to mount a door handle or a rear-view mirror, you can put a pin on the end of the water pump and another on the radiator. I use some rubber tubbing cut too length and slid it first on the hardest to reach position and the other end to the most accessible. The tubbing will bend easily, and if it is too long and kinks you can remove it and cut off enough so that it fits without kinking.

You should be able to find clear plastic sheets at almost any model shop that sells plastic sheets as well as some Hobby Lobby stores. Plastruct and Evergreen are two big suppliers of clear plastic in a few thicknesses.

Great looking finishes and the NYPD theme looks good on this.

Beautiful looking paint finish. Like the high single head light. The stance and the wheels and tires look great.

Great looking paint finish and color. With the stance and the lowered suspension along with the supreme wheels it has the low rider look.

Great looking build and engine detailing. Like the wheels and tires.

Great looking paint work and looks like the box art.

Like the engine and chassis detailing. The paint and interior look great as well.

Beautiful looking paint color and finish. The thing that really stands out is the chassis and engine along with the rest of the drive train.

Great looking fab work on the chassis and suspension.
