Next is to put all this things into my boat. I had to start with the servos. After that, I had to construct a bracket for the engine. And fix it on the right place in the boat. Nico

The last piece before I start with the electronics is the lamp. I could order two pieces for the Riva Aquarama (KricKshop). In combination they look like the real lamp: The pieces on the Riva Aquarama: Nico

The cross-hatch pattern is easy to do: The finish is done with varnish for cars. Before I have done a undercoating with Acrüpox in 3 steps, painting and sanding (3 times). The last time sanding was wet with a corn of 1000. Nico

At the moment there is no electronic in the boat. I fixed the motor only to see, how the boat is looking, when it’s completed. But I have some pictures of the motor and the provisional installation of the servos. Nico

Hello Greg, No, it was no kit, I could buy the motor over Ebay. I think it's a very rare piece. I never saw it again in Ebay and it's also not possible to find some thing about it in the internet. I am very happy about this motor, it's just the correct one for my boat. Nico

Next step: I will nickel-plate the frame of the front window. The first thing is to polish every thing. After that I had to clean the parts with sodiumhydroxide 10 % and hydrochloric acid 10 % After this procedure I put every thing in my NIBOR bath to get it nickel-plate. Together with other parts my boat is now looking like this: Nico

@ Carl, the material of the window is Lexan (polycarbonate). OMG means "oh my god". Next things are the curtains. I use the same cloth as for the canopy. By the way the Riva Aquarama scale 1:10 (Gallery of COMPLETED Scratch-built models) is my boat. I was driving the boat, while Roger took some really nice pictures. Nico

Thank's for the compliments. Next thing is the windshield. I am using a messing profile for the frame. But first I will post once again the building of the windowpane. Nico

Next things are the chrom strips. I could order it in the Krick shop (Beschlagteile Riva Aquarama). Nico

Next are the windows on the side. Here I can glue the Lexan between the mahogany walls. All the windows are in place. Nico

It's time for the windows. I beginn with the small windows in the front of tha cabine. I take rails of trains miniatures (Märklin) to do the frame of the window. To get a perfect fit for the window, I build them first in wood. And finally with Lexan. Nico

Next step is the sliding roof. The problem is to find the right glue (lexan with wood). Glue for plastic kits went well. Nico
