Lol... Suddenly I just thought if we actually make the pond as we were thinking (A reservoir for the river) we should have a small little wooden boat with a German Officer fishing Smile

Since it is propulsion it will probably run in the shallow creek now in the field..............

Might have to get it. Been thinking about a LCM like this but they are massive in 1/16.

Bring your pick axe and shovels boys and make it happen.
I'll supply the water and pump.

Showed up today and put two figures on it to see the scale, not too bad......... Hopefully the Verlinden figures are not too big. The tires are lawn mower size so will be replacing them with the ones in the pictures.

Wow apparently the wheels are tiny like that in the real thing......... Oh well so much for that.

Cool....... Some updates. Dressed up the Alpha with crew and accessories. Also got Shapeways crew for the LCM 3, just waiting for the M16 that I will put into it. Don't want this to be too fancy as they will both run in the pool in my condo building (Waiting for it to be repaired after the last flood) so it will get wet.......
