Revenue Protection Cutter

And a hard stare or two?

One Lewis gun on the bow, please.   

That would be perfect!

The guns are there in the last pic of the Cutter I posted.  Slightly more punch than a Lewis.

Harsh words and an open notebook would work in a perfect world but South Australian smugglers caught on the beach with a cargo of contraband West End Draught (it's illegal in the PDRV on a number of grounds - passing itself off as beer being one of them) tend to shoot first and submit to justice later.

Better they send it somewhere.  We prefer the Coopers brand in Adelaide.

0.5" Browning ? Going to get a bit crowded, certainly no room for picking up any smugglers whose boats have been sunk 

[Old Wombat]

Yup, couple'a Ma-Deuces lying under the cutter in that pic.

'S OK, though, even our smallest West End Torrens Water smuggling boats have a twin-mount of M2 HB .50cal's, most have, at least, a M45 .50cal Quadmount turret plus assorted other weapons.

Can't believe I forgot about a rudder.
I was going to use the kit one but I appear to have lost it.  Nevermind, i've scratched one up.

I think she'll be named Velma.

The RUDDER will be named Velma?

It's really a Versatile Extra Long Manoeuvring Attachment , so why not call it Velma?  On that subject, I once knew a man with appallingly bad breath called Ibbotson.

Stands to reason, his breath would have to be appallingly bad to rate its own name, wouldn't it? 

I had a friend an acquaintance once with terrible breath - I called him Mr. Itosis once, and he said "huh?", so I called him Hal ...

We're no longer on speaking terms. 

Thank goodness.

Finished (even added a windscreen - thinking about adding a kent screen to it) but I've decided it need a second crewman who I am now painting.

Photos when that's done.

Me too.  It doesn't seem to be writing itself though...
