Beautiful work on the Pibber John.

Thank Loren.  It was a very fun build and well engineered kit.  That’s always a plus!

Ive always loved the darned boats, wish I could own one to be honest but not many left. 

And where would you put it?  Actually...you might live on a lake or a river.  

 

Check the gallery.  I'm adding it presently...

My grand uncle has a bar on a lake/reservoir in Northern Wisconsin. I also have a cousin with a beach house north of Tampa. So I have places but I found a 100% new constructed one for $125,000.00 last time I looked. Just a bot outside of my price range of cheap to free.

Mine too.  I'd take Wisconsin over Tampa, though.

Your pibber looks absolutely ace, John. A proud addition to the brown water navy. Love all the accessories with the crates on the gun deck. The mottling on the hull and the wheel house is very natural. I look at the finish and get a tactyle feel of fibreglass. Off the charts mate! 🙌

That's a lovely looking Pibber. That weathering works really well. This is a kit I really fancy building myself at some point, I've always loved the PBR.
