Wolfgang Petersen is not amused! What happened to his boat? Ah yes, its a new kind of pocket size weapons, eh? So heres my attemt of my.... drumroll please  .... very first boat build at all! Affordable price, an unusual appearance and even 1/35 scale, which allows me to use some figures besides the ones from the box. PE parts too? Wow. I havent build an Italeri kit for years as well. A first look shows the typical Italeri quality - good appearence, soft plastic and sometimes wishy-washy details like nuts and bolts etc. Does it really matter? Dont think so, nothing that looks too serious. How good is the fit? We will see. Yes, looks good so far, this could be fun.     |

Nice! I'm sure the moderators are relieved you chose a cartoon and not some other 'beaver-related' picture |

Ahem... Yeah I found these pictures, and didnt even know what a beaver means in English before searching for furry animals with big teeth. Yeah... "sometimes men make the strangest requests!". Thanks for the offer Andy. Ill think of you when my pair of Gummistiefel will let the water in.  |

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

The controls - original vs. Italeri + spare PE parts + plastic profile   |

Looks like a cool idea for a dio, and nice progress Lucas. My apologies for making you walk into the beaver-trap - must have been a shock to your system  |

Not at all, Dierk. Always good to try something new instead of walking in the same path for decades... |
