Yes Ole. This will go on the water. I switched from planes to boats for that very reason. In the past i have been too scared to fly my creations for fear of crashing and destroying them. With boats i dont have that fear and it is a more relaxed hobby.

Thanks Ole, i think it turned out ok. I carried on with the Funnels tonight, Quite a lot of dremel work and sanding with the sticks. You cant quite see from the pics but the moulding had quite some surface sags in them. I sanded the surfaces for primer and managed to level them all out.

Well im still working on these funnels. all of the handrails are now complete and i took a look at the vents and the blast flaps. Most of these bits are decals and i didnt want to use them for obviouse reasons. Behind the blast flaps at the top were supposed to go a plain black square decal and then the flaps are glued on in the semi open position... i decided to cut out the openings and i will paint the inside black. Next were the main vents with the louvers. a decal with straight lines on it didnt quite cut it for me. I wanted to fit the louver covers and make them look a little un uniformed and battered a little as they should be so i set to work with the evergreen stuff and managed to complete one tonight. When painted and a little soot added i think they should look quite good.
