This is today's status: The floats have been fixed to the base. The mechanic (who started his life as a CSM bomb servicing guy) is doing something secret, being watched by elanlane's FANTASTIC naval officer.
I still have to wait for the acrylic gel to dry. This means those struts can't be fixed to the floats at the moment, as i still have the need to correct the "water" between the floats. That would be very tough to do otherwise (with struts fixed, i mean).
But i was bored with working on the Pfalz and the seaplane simoultaneously. Instead i created
another base.
again using a piece of styrofoam, cobblestones made from modelling clay (actually leftovers from another project never completed, years ago) and my trusty repair paste for the groundwork. In fact this was rather silly, as that base will be used with another project still "in the pipeline", number four of coming things. The dark spots are meant to be oil (they do look very oil-ish in reality), dropped onto the base with a brush. The forms are a result of the concrete slabs' relief.
Now it's time for removing those strange gaps on the upperwing (i understand they are there due to the need for a large or small cutout, but they are a burden nonetheless).
