Your Higgins boat is making my stomach churn with memories of Amphibious warfare school! Well done, the details are extremely well done. Much like the decommisioned mockups we used for training purposes.

RED-

Phenomenal! Simply a great custom piece.

I wonder if I could speak to you about this piece-I am looking to do something very similar in 1/6 scale, and wonder if I could talk measurements and dimensions with you.

Best,

9th
