Good job Torgny! Too bad I won't be able to see it and the other models tomorrow at the BUCK model show. BUCK stands for: Builders of Us Car Kits. So as I've pointed out maybe a couple of times, if any of you guys happen to plan a trip to Sweden, let us know. Maybe there's a model show coming up. I can give you upcoming info.

A stunning tour-de-force. The chromed mills and fittings in the boat are immaculate! Were they rechromed for the build? And, surprisingly, no one had asked how the awesome wood graining was actually done - so I will: How was the awesome wood graining actually done?

Using real wood on the boat and the sides of the car sure makes a difference. Nothing looks like wood, like wood does!

One thing to consider is that boats like that all had names in my experience, usually on the transom. (There all have registration numbers as well).

Very cool build! Love it!
