    This old girl was picked up at a market for a few quid and I'm thinking of giving her a bit of a makeover she is missing a few parts like the windscreen, air vents, step pad, cleats and some r/c electrics she also has a broken rudder and antenna but all in all not a bad project and something I can play with when I'm out in the boat :)

    I cut some windscreen brackets out a bit of aluminium and used some plastic from a windscreen wiper packet to make the screen :)

    I was surprised to be able to pick up some vents and cleats on ebay so thats a great help.

    It's all fibreglass even the wood effect so I can't polish it up, I might add a wooden dash and leather seats to make it more realistic looking.
    I also have a riva thats all fiberglass but in this kit it has thin sheets of mahogany to coat the shell in, I'll get around to building it some day :)
