i used cork gasket material for treads, and .050/2017 for hand rails.

Holy crap, that is gonna look good

i want to take more pictures but it's all too raw, i don't mind taken the time to do it, it's just like a tile job before grout, it's almost there but the lighting is going to take some time, as far as under water lighting goes i'll just tow a flashlight behind

[Stillwet]

i used two of these pens chrome tips for the housings

2mm button head screws

the lower deck has a gas grill so it had to have a supply, and it has a hose, but not until it's glued in place.

A 1/32 scale figure.
an aluminum pull tab lid from a peanut container.
Red paper clip.
a cap from some left over hardware from a remodel job. (i collect bits and pieces) for scratch building.
a valve stem core.
train wheels from my N gauge train boxcar parts.
whats nice you can make this any size just like my Milwaukee 1:1 hand truck.
there's quite a bit more to come. i'm gearing up for my Tamiya Grand Hauler to tow this boat around and my lunch.

A real veneer and Sharpie the black lines?

A real veneer and Sharpie the black lines?

are you talking about the mahogany decking? i had completed the upper and lower deck already, and yes i wish the lines were more apparent but it still looks good, (if that is what you meant) is a good tip. i wanted to do a different wood color in between but it would had been more time when i was into it and had still a lot of lil' details left, i keep a ledger and log every thing that comes to mind and or read and see, ideas are every where. i'm posting the decks tomorrow or Friday and then finish the electrics and hardware. i still need to use rubbing compound & wax the boat to get it to shine more. Thanx again for the Sharpie idea, hopefully i'll get to experiment with it on another project.
i do use Sharpies often.

Very nice job Stillwet, I like the Graupner Portofino but it' s not easy to find one

[Stillwet]

Thank you Alpha Spirit.
Are you just starting your build? that boat is very nice indeed, i wanted to do a Dumas kit again but stumbled onto the 800's.
are you doing a build log here for your Portofino?
i would like to follow your build if you do.
i just started lighting last night, not many but still a chore.
