Thanks Michi, yes I'll post pics on my blog (http://www.oldschoolnostalgia.wordpress.com)

I'm essentially curious how you managed to glue so imperceptibly the two cut boats together. I showed your boat to a friend who is into playmobil customization and he was properly amazed by your work !

A bit off topic in this thread, but it´s all in this picture: Separation of the grey and red (outer and inner) hull parts, polystyrene plates in the right places and Revell polystyrene putty plus a thorough sanding...

Michi,
You have a wonder way of making the uber hard sound so pleasantly simple.  ;D

Jack,
I look forward to seeing your ship's progression.

Getting back into topic. My first model in 30+ years… F**ed up the decals but it's still ok. It's my next CoC character. Model is AMT 1/48 Lockheed Vega airplane.

That is beautiful!

I tried building that kit and got so frustrated with the wings I put it away for conversion into a wreck one day.

 I have to admit it was quite messy to build ! The wings were not too difficult imho but the floaters were quite a pain to assemble and glue. The worst being the decals which I totally destroyed while trying to apply them. In the end, still worth the effort.
I am now waiting from post office the 2 next planes for my projects : a Revell Junker 52 and a SMER Walrus Supermarine MK2.
My project is having the floatplanes go as carried planes on cargo boats from Playmobil for some mixed Call of Cthulhu / Hollow Earth Expedition style RPG campaign, full of nazis and pulp bad guys.
