Check your new P.M. I got the video up on youtube.

Your new vid is a giant leap in the right direction compared to some of the previous ones posted, but you can do better. Now get back to work and make a better one.


BTW, if your going to market high end boats for a living you may consider combing your hair and putting on a deccent shirt.;)

Went pretty cheap for a wrapped kit.

From 86-88 Monogram models produced three Scarab KV model kits. The first was the "Miami Vice" kit released in 86. "Splash Dancer" and "Dazzlement" were released as spinoff kits until 88. If you were a fan of the boat, you probably had the kit. Let's see some pics posted of your builds.
The Dazzlement version was actually done based on a 377 that belongs to the owners of Ateco Engines. They still have the boat and run it on Michigan and the Gulf around Tampa.
Don't have any info on Splash Dancer.

Some pics of a built kit that were sent to me awhile back.

Take note of the custom and after market detail parts in the engine compartment. For those who are not familiar with this kit, all this detail is in a 1-3/4" x 2" space.

NICE JOB!!

Minutes seem like days
Since fire ruled the sky
The rich became the beggars
And the fools became the wise
Memories linger in my brain
Of burning from the acid rain
A pain I never have won

Nothing here remains
No future and no past
No one could foresee
The end that came so fast
Hear the prophet make his guess
That paradise lies to the west
So join his quest for the sun

Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be

The world slowly decays
Destruction fills my eyes
Harboring the image
Of a spiraling demise
Burning winds release they fury
Simulating judge and jury
Drifting flurries of pain

Deafening silence reigns
As twilight fills the sky
Eventual supremacy
Daylight waits to die
Darkness always calls my name
A pawn in this recurring game
Humanity going insane

Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of Society
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be [x2]
Skeletons of Society

Minutes seem like days
Corrosion fills the sky
Morbid dreams of anarchy
Brought judgement in disguise
Memories linger in my brain
Life with nothing more to gain
Perpetual madness remains

Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of society
Fragments of what used to be
Skeletons of society

Pennzoil one is pretty cool. Looks like a custom center rail and shaved hatches. Nice job.

Hey Dare ScarabKV!
I bought the boat from a guy who is painting the new arch for Sebastion. He was here matching paint and said he had a boat done without an engine and never ran. I asked how much? he said $50 bucks. I gave him $75 All stripes are painted and cleared over and NICE. I added the small chrome parts and logos with the macheeeen!
Cheers!

Jim,

How did you get the MV colors on the Shockwave kit?

For the group..... if you google "Shockwave 55" " you will find a ready to run 55 inch model that almost looks like a flat deck Scarab, complete with radio and gas engine for $1000.00

Come on Jim-tell us how you got one in vice colors?

Merry X-mas!

Jetjock,
The Shockwave has been custom painted via automotive paint and clear coated. small decals and chrome vents are things I added. Check ebay, they often offer incomplete models for around $150.00 I paid $75.00 for this one as it is.
