Splash scoops and depth charges in place!

[cthulhu77]

Nerve wracking glue up...getting this thing level and in place was enough to drive to drink!

[Brian da Basher]

Niiiiiicceeeee Greg!

Now all ou need is a cthulhu trying to climb on the main float!

Nah, that would suck out the souls of all who saw...it.

[cthulhu77]

Starting to work on the waves!

[Jeffry Fontaine]

I recognize the Bic Pen parts that you are now using as your outboard floats but what did you use for the main float?  I am unable to ascertain from whence it comes.

On page two, you can see the piece of pvc tubing I used for the main hull, then I sculpted bondo nose and aft sections. Thin strips of styrene and basswood made the waterlines on the main pontoon.

I'm enjoying the trip. Great looking work!

this x-wing fan likes the concept ...

Oh man, that's wicked cool.  I don't know what I like best about it, except it's probably the amphibious-ness.

Now, if only Luke had taken this to Dagobah. . .  

[Archangel]

This one's fun to watch!

Agreed, but a zwilling would be cool!

Its been done over at www.starshipmodeler.com under the Star Wars thread

[Captain Canada]

Looking good ! Who what where and how did you do the water ?

 

[cthulhu77]

It's the same TP treatment I did with the Schnellboot Hydrofoil, you can see the build up on pages 3-4.

  Thanks all!  Toying with the idea to make this into a diorama with figures, which would mean making a dock. Hmmmm.
