Brown Water Navy

Gents.  Here is a 1/35 Dragon Light SEAL Support Craft under construction.  The kit came with no engines so I added one from Rye Field Models.  I scratch built the engine compartment, primed, and painted it with cream white after the primer dried.  I added weathering in the compartment to make it look used and dirty.   The  engine itself was base-coated black and then highlighted with various shades of metal colored paints.

I added the handle bars inside the boat’s bay and added non skid to the port/starboard skirts.  As this was a tactical boat used in Vietnam it will be green overall instead of Navy grey.    Should take another 3 or so weeks to finish up the boat itself.  The plan is to make a scene of it being dockside and under light maintenance.
