Lots more to go and do, far from finished, but I'm diggin it.
I'm thinking of putting a pulpit on the bow [ like on the ORCA in JAWS ] for placing barrel, mine channel markers.
Now it's a confiscated coastal patrol, radio, channel marker thingie, with bite !!!
Thanks for looking - Glenn

Maria is quite the shapely little gal with some teeth. Excellent workmanship all around. Can't wait to see where she goes from this point.

As this comment I love the perfect blend between civil and military

Are you going to do in port or at sea?

for you and colleagues put some pictures of a diorama I made some time ago and that no longer exists (broke)

Guys , thanks alot.
Rui, I'm pis*ing my pants, the wife sang the same thing when I told her I was naming the boat Maria.
Actually I was looking for an Italian female name with 5 letters so it would balance out on the back ................Ma - r - ia , l.o.l.
Thanks again guys, more to come.......................................

I added bouy tending and channel marking to the patrol boats duties.
No actual refs on this, German ingenuity field mod. I still have to extend the I beam over the side some more off the rigging frame. This platform folds in when the ship is under way. I still have to come up with some latch type devises for lashing the platform arms to the hull when she's underway.

More nice work. I'd tell the GI to finish his smoke before the Jerrys come back though.
