Well, just as you thought it was safe to get back in the water.....  Lou got a custom stogie (sculpy, the kit piece was too skinny) and a silly straw cooler made from a bic pen and a striped paper clip. His hair and soul patch had some putty work to add texture.    The exhaust flames are craft store mini xmas lights with some painted 2-part epoxy smears added.  From the looks of the underside, he's had a few run-ins. Not his fault, of course.   Happy boating!!!! |

Thanks for the kind words, guys!
These kits leave plenty of opportunity for add-ons and individual styling.
Some guys like to use a bright and garish color scheme on 'em. I'm more into giving 'em grimy-weird look.
There is one detail I was waiting for a comment on. Bob was close.
