This looks like it has "good bones" and seems like it might be something new instead of the usual rehashed stuff:

Thoughts?

I saw that kit last week ...

I'm wondering what the "siding" is supposed to be. I initially thought it was supposed to be corrugated siding but now I'm thinking some sort of formed concrete.

The model looks crude but does seem to have potential.

Looks Japanese, like a warmed-over Tomytech kit.

If the roof were replaced and Dock plates/shelters added It would do alot to improve its appearance.

The dock buffers are very nice.
