It looks pretty good for a boat. I’m not a boat expert, but I thought that
Coast Guard cutters (at least US Coast Guard) had a large red stripe on the
bow. My grandfather claims to have invented this as a means for aerial
recognition, though I can’t be sure if he was actually involved or not.
Anyways, I like all the windows, and it generally looks believable to me.

Overall, good job, and I hope to see more like this from you in the future,

Jeffery:
The thing on the back is actually an attempt at a drug bust. I am waiting for
some other pieces to come in to finish it up. I intend on having a boat that
they have boarded built as well so it will be a kind of scene so to speak.
Dan:
The stripe is actually orange and blue...
After a lot of consideration and looking at how things would line up i really
felt I was better of using a sticker for it but with my new bow design that may
change as i will have an flat even surface to work with.
I have decided a couple things from the posts I have so far...I really have to
redo the bow so that will be coming shortly. The bow is just too long for the
rest of the boat I think. Also I got all of my lights yesterday and I have to
say having them inside really really make it more visually apealing. It makes it
a lot easier to see what is going on inside. So once I get through that somewhat
major rebuild I’ll follow-up agin for some more feed-back...you can always watch
the progress through at

Thanks so far for everything.
