Really impressive. I admire your scratch building skills. I think it is the highest school in model building.

Super details. And who is going to spot the very minor errors anyway? I take my hat off to you for attempting this and adding such super details.

More progress:



The fuselage has been closed up and sprayed in undercoat. I have made the rear float and the rigging wire pylon. The engine got painted too

That will be down to one of my new (ish toys)



It's a Wolf Jahn watchmakers lathe, probably from the 1920s

I set it up for hand turning, like this:



and turned the float out of a piece of dowel

The lathe has other tricks:









I have it set up next to where I do most of my modelling, so I use it a lot now. I wouldn't be without it
