:D

nice model though :D
I like that side paneling. looks like it could block a lot of hits.

Im super stoked that you're doing this. But i must say, it does kind of resemble the original model besides that seating down the middle. Im curious of how it will differ in performance?

Single outboard or double? Over drive or not? what kind of gun? The current standard zodiac gun is kind of ineffective. I can easily go through a whole set of clips and only kill a couple troops (maybe i suck at aiming the dang thing). The British rovers gun is pretty effective and I'd imagine it would be a much more effective weapon to have aboard.

So , now I have a new problem :

As you can see , the texture of the instrument panel (is it right the word "instrument panel" ? :mrgreen: ) is very stretched because the UV is small . So the details are stretched too thus the texture doesn't appear detailed.

Just a bit of truth about the ADF and its small boats,
1- Major Fleet ships all have a RHIB, they have no seating in the front except for the bench in front of the console
2- The RHIBs with the multipul seating in front is only put on a ship when it is going on operations that may require it.
3- Some ships have Zodiacs, LPAs LCHs and other smaller ships, they are usually powered by a 27hp desiel outboard, they are used by divers on LPAs and as the ships boat on smaller craft
4-RHIBs come in 2 basic power configurations, jet and prop, both powered by a volvo penta inboard engine( under the bench seat infront of the console )
5-The overhead bar or railing contains a inflation device that when submerged activates and rights the boat when capsized
6-SAS and special forces use a 9m black zodiac with 2 very large outboars
7-HMAS Tobruk and HMAS Success both have landing craft, Roughly 10 meters long and weight about 11 tons unloaded,
8-The large green landing craft on the front flight deck of LPAs in some pics are called LCM8s and are army assets, they are very effective, during the inital assaults in Iraq the british Royal marines asked to use them as they were faster then theirs. They weight is approx 65 tons unloaded and always have a stash of beer onboard.
I'll get back to you with more info later.
