      Was a bit bored on an end of summer day so I fished out an old model I had never done anything with and with a few modifications and a background image, a bit of Photoshop, I was able to pass an hour or so of free time. As always please let me know what you think, comments and critiques are always welcome.

              I will definitely add a maple leaf and yeah there are icebergs in Canada so it works nicely... I did add inflatable bumpers around the perimeter of the craft so it should just bounce off the icebergs very easily. πŸ‘

                    ...That would make a bad-azz, personal, cold-weather jetski πŸ˜„

                    Awesome job on the model and image!!

                        looks more like a hovercraft to me

                          A hovercraft was definitely the starting point for the model, but the "skirt" was reduced down to an inflatable bumper like that of a rigid inflateable... I think I will tackle a hovercraft as one of the next projects.
