mtdoramike Posted March 13, 2021 #1 Posted March 13, 2021 Here is a few pictures of my latest project, a 1930 mahogany run about. I call her Aces High. She is about 3/4 complete. The color scheme is mint green, also called mint Julip.

JeffT Posted March 14, 2021 #3 Posted March 14, 2021 Is this the same model you were working on here?

Dr PR Posted March 27, 2021 #8 Posted March 27, 2021 Mike, I love these wooden runabouts too. I grew up in a tourist trap surrounded by three lakes and there were swarms of these back in the 50s and 60s. Nice models! I checked your other build and I have a question. What did you use for the white grout on the deck? I have considered building the Admiral's barge from a ship I was on and it had the mahogany deck with white grout.

Hi Mike, The decals come from CG Vinyl studio. you can also find them on ebay. They are great as long as you seal them with epoxy resin. Landlubber Mike 1

They are styrene strips, they come with most Mahogany run about kits, but you can also find them on-line. Landlubber Mike 1
Dr PR Posted March 27, 2021 #11 Posted March 27, 2021 Thanks. I suspected that, and was considering it. I have used black craft paper of appropriate thickness for grout on other models.
