  Having completed a few scratchbuilds...the bug has gotten to me. This is one I started a loooooonnnng time ago, using dimensional lumber, and have started up again. It is all handmade, 1/35th scale. I'll be using Tamiya figures and guns:

Looks like an ambitious project, and you're off to a good start. 
The Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah, the Men's department.

Damn - now that's a proper workshop.... :blink: :blink: :bow: :bow:

Boat's looking very promising: is it based on a real design or is it out of your own head?

Wow, Greg!!!

This is one of those builds that will glue my fat venezuelan a$$ to the seat.

What is going to be the armament suite?

Thanks all, yep a Danish boat !  (Dansk '46)  Quad guns in the rear, along with a depth charge roller...mg's on the side on mounts, and a large 37mm gun on the prow. Yipes!  I have really gotten into the whole scratching thing, this is totally off the top of my head. Quite fun !
