Pretty good job for 'an old modeller trying to catch up'.  The figures add a lot to the scene.  A waterside seaplane ramp diorama would be awesome.  Great job on this conversion, Kent.

I think so too Ken - Like the real '911' at Windau Naval Station

WOW!  Great conversion subject and outstanding modeling to accomplish it and look like it came that way.  A lesser modeler would have given up.....oh Wait, they have!  The floats are a work of modeling skill as are the stretched and lengthened wings, one could never tell.  Great build log too.  As mentioned also, "Great Presentation" with the figures and the dog, nicely add some sense of proportion.

Wonderful finish, I love the transluscent effect on the wings especially. This is a proper work of art!

Thanks to all of you: (Paul, Andreas, Steve, Mark, Richie,  Dave, Sandy) for your kind words, I'm happy with the result.
I'm not at all deterred from doing another 'late' W.4.
