Nice build and good presentation. Its a somewhat dull hull as its basically just a cigar with a few attachments, so getting it to look interesting takes something - good work!

Nice one Kenny. This is a difficult model to make interesting. The bashed up wire cutter and the salt weathering bring it to life. Have a virual beer and give yourself a pat on the back

The evaporated salt was a good call on Lady Gator's part--it should work wonders as well for large scale boats and amphib vehicles as well!

Hi Kenny
Congratulations on a good display of a relatively difficult to make interesting subject!
The salt weathering came out nice, as did the damage!
The other option would be putting it on top of the trailer with lots of civilians around it, for the bond raising tour
Good job!
Cheers,
Rui
