After trying to decide to paint tonight I suddenly remembered this thread and my mind clicked. I pulled out the foamcore and balsa wood and this is the result (This and a mess all over my carpet):

They fit five models in each comfortably (My guys are based on 22mm washers) as u can see

Ill add 1mm balsa wood to the on top of the foamcore showing, then ill put them on MDF bases, cut a little hole in the sides, stick the end of the oars in the little holes and going into the water on the base, do the water on the base and then paint it all.
Seems like a lot but it shouldn't take too long if i can focus on it :)

I quite like the height of the sides which is why im gonna wait to get some really thin balsa to go inside
