What happened to the "Hikurangi Swamp Marlin "?

[dales133]

Havnt decided totaly frank.

Anyway i need some opinions.
Way back when i was going to skin the hatch with mill finnish but since i canvased it and painted it green its grown on me.
My thoughts are it wont look right ig the aluminium just ends at the hinge and the green starts but if i add some aluminium to it i dont overly love it and tracy hates it....

Heres some pics.

Ive got a huge blank canvas to add something alternative to the hatch but id like some opinions on
1. Mill finish
2. Green
3. Stucco aluminium accent on top
4. Anything else!

I really like it! The trim sets it off! That thing is beautiful brotherman. Nice, nice work.

You like the stucco triangle?
I can either add trim to the lower edge or just leave it as is

[Atomic77]

Dude. Love it. Is it aluminum? Confused by the "stucco." Decco maybe? Looks awesome.

[dales133]

Yea same aluminium as the roof and front.
Its run through a roller or something and embossed
They sell it he r e as "stucco sheet"

[dales133]

Ive got the same stuff in the galley ect ... probably some close ups there

[Atomic77]

I see... Yeah wasn't picking up on the embossing

[Sheddie]

Yes I agreed with Michael, that looks really good, Dale said she thinks so too
Just need a picture of a swamp marlin on it.

[dales133]

So 3 for the triangular highlight then.

[Sheddie]

That looks like the count so far

[dales133]

Shame tracy dosnt like it....sucks to be her i spose!

Seriously though it looks wrong without incorperating some of the roof into it....even though i was in two minds about it

[OP827]

Dale, this little V detail does look sexy, fresh and stylish, you have a good taste, bro!

[dales133]

Thanks bud.
My choice is becoming easier.
Its installed under the hinge and glued in so cant be reversed.
Realy apreciate you guys input

Yep, have to say it looks "just right" the way you did it. I don't think it needs any trim or edge treatment, just some screws along the bottom (sealed holes of course) & the hinge along the top & it's done. It looks much better than a flat edge from just the hinge would look. Plenty of room for some painted details now & to add a touch of color for a logo (sorry, colour)!
