I must really love this little Zvezda kit, 'cause I'm back for more. I'm not sawing it in half this time, but it'll need a few modifications to look similar to the motorboat from The Black Island.

Nice Greg. Love all that extra detail you added.

Just add Tintin in his kilt as well 👍

If I added Tintin figures to every build... that's pretty much all I'd have time to do!

Anyway, thanks guy! It feels almost a shame not to include the kit parts, but at the same time there's more of a feeling of accomplishment in making the build your own. At least I think so.

Yes indeedy, Don. Just a little side-project to fill in the cracks.😉

Main painting completed, including the scratchbuilt outboard motor. I almost forgot to add Vaseline as the release agent for the silicone on the base. That would've been a disaster! Just a few tiny decals and details to add and this little side project will be done! Almost before anyone notices!

I am sure you have said elsewhere, but what are you using for the water?

Silicone.
Getting close Greg!

I'm using household silicone caulking (clear) for the water. Just add a couple of drops of Tamiya acrylic paint, stir and apply. The only real trick is you have to work pretty fast because the silicone starts drying almost instantly. It gets very hard to spread evenly the longer it's out of the tube.

Thanks Lode! It was almost a shame to discard some of the kit parts, but hopefully my scratchbuilt add-one will make it close enough to the original that no one will complain.😉

Really good and clean work Greg.. And like Lode said.. The scratchwork is amazing 👍
Very convincing result so far.

Thanks Daniel. It was a fun little distraction build... I have to say, I am quite proud of how the scratched up 1/72 scale outboard motor turned out. That surprised even me~ There's a couple of close-up final pics and even in them it doesn't look half bad (and they ALWAYS look bad close up!)
