Hello.


Your opinion much appreciated on the colour for the bathing slide bottom piece, can't make my mind up.
Red or continuing with the off White.

Red. It is more in accord with the shade of the timber and "completes" the arc across the stern.

Tricky to call Mike. But I'd agree with Greg that red looks more balanced...


Looking good..!

At last the Riva Special is complete following many changes.
The only thing left to do is that it actually floats.


Some pictures.

Absolutely beautiful work Mike..!  And look forward to the pictures of it floating in it's natural habitat.

Many thanks David and Mark T, much appreciated.I said it was now finished but I've found 2 more bits that I forgot and missed.
They are the nav lights and the chromed strips on the 2 (as the French call ailerons), I have no idea of the correct name.
Anyway, the very final parts will be completed tomorrow.
Will post pictures then.

Missing parts fitted, I may change the Cream colour of the nav lights to Silver or maybe Black, that that's only a few mins work.
Here are the photos.

Hi Mike,
Any chance you could email me a copy of the gauges they look great.
Also, what are the surrounds made from?

Cheers,
Mark

Hello All.
 
Due to permanent illness I have to stop any more work on the Riva, which is very very small, just a hour or so to complete.
The photos show it.


The Sports Fisherman is totally finished and is my favorite by far and unique. There are pictures.


If anyone is interested or would like any more information just let me.
