Super NICE!

Wow - upon first looking at this Id sworn it was a r/c boat with dressed up two stroke engines.  Your level of detail and painting is top notch !!

[Hi-Po]

Great idea and nicely done!

Beautiful looking hull finish with the wood veneer. Like the dual engines and the extensive engine detailing. This boat kit is a great base to build off of, wish there were more boat kits to build.

What a brilliant idea!  I have struggled to get a realistic wood grained paint job on my AMT boat and the answer was staring me in the face all along - use wood!  Can't wait to try this - thanks for the inspiration!  Could you tell me what glue you used ?

Cheers

I used basic super glue for the wood veneers. Putty used for the parting lines. Plastic strips would have been cleaner.
