Ok so I looked on internet.
It is a Sea Ray made by New Bright.
It is 18'
I found a similar real boat called a Sea Ray Sun dancer 410.
It is 12.7m on length.
The model is 460mm.
Therefore I make that 1:28 scale roughly.
So not in keeping unfortunately but it still.gonna look.cool towing in behind

ImageCamo almost done. Still got the dark grey/green to touch in then add some lights. Next job after is then make a trailer to carry to the water :) by Will Pattinson, on Flickr

Lights next, then a quick sail and maybe some internal modification. Really however i just want it to look good on a trailer which can be pulled behind one of the trucks

It looks great, Will, but don't you think it needs a whole bunch of guns stickin' out everywhere? @)

We Americans are not obsessed with guns. We just love to own them and hold them and touch them and play with them and talk about them every chance we get. @)

A porch stolen hahaha.

My mate in Detroit has certainly had some odd goings on. But obviously likes it enough to take residence :)

As for the boat I am.going to mount a gun in the front where the yellow sticker is. Then maybe some other details.
Its a free boat to me so I just wanted to make it more in keeping with military style other models.

Taken long enough to paint it though with humbrol pots lol
