Floating Amazon House
« on: November 18, 2012, 12:36:16 PM »
Ok, I'm thinking about one of these.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Great idea. Loads of scope for detailing. I saw a hut like that in the Ecuadorian rainforest. It had a resident boa constrictor to keep vermin down. As we were getting told this I looked up and it was right above me. It wad a big one too.

Rather a nifty idea but will the water be a complete river or just part?

cheers

I think I'll settle for just a part. A bit of bank, couple of shacks. Modelling the length and breadth of the world's largest river I might leave to you.  :)

Brazilian marines for scale reference. I'm thinking about making two or three structures, dunno if that's within the rules or not.

That is looking great!

I do have to ask, is that lots of strips of balsa stuck together or a sheet scored to look like planks?

Basically if it is a sheet it looks amazingly life like, if it is strips you are a zen master!
Saving the last bullet... just in case.
