I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

You should put a Pabst Blue Ribbon label on it.

Because it's referred to as PBR.

Hello National Playmographic

While I hugely admire the skills and patience that are here on display, I am not a little taken aback by the final product, which has little in common with PM and seriously clashes with the brand's position on modern history and warfare. A similar design created outrage a few years back, but no such sounds now. Well, mine, for the record.

Best wishes
StJohn

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your comments, really appreciate them.

@StJohn
Thanks a million for your reply. I agree with you this does clash with the brand, but this is not apology for violence or even war. It's very much the opposite: an homage to Coppola's truly great anti-war film. This is the first of some vehicles I'll be customizing, all of them based on movies.
As for the Harley WLA, an army model, I must confess I have a weakness with old hogs, and specially forties models.  ;)

Thank you, National Playmographic, for explaining this. The model, standing alone in your workshop, lacks context to make the message clear. Peace be with us.

Best wishes

The boat is looking great!  If anything, it pays homage  to those who served in the Brown Water Navy!
