Friends..within this age, i completed many fishtail and rowing crafts..and this is some different, in its shape…as usual, i started with thermocol..

i finished her with PU putty, to reduce weight…

Aqua, like this one. It is the sort of thing I might build, as being different.

I do like your use of the foam to produce hulls. A very easy way or producing some fairly complex shapes. What do you use to glue the foam together, or to other materials.

I may have missed it but you must cover the foam with something? or is it just paint.

Ashley..i started making models from my child hood..and from boyhood it became more serious..but materials was a great head ache to me..i tried to make many models from wood..as i am a boy, using chiesels and havy tools are not allowded..so i turned to card boards,papers..and yes thermocol..(expanded polystrene, that found in TV and applience packages..)..you can make any shape..any size..as i completed my carrier in to 4.7 meter..all in scale..its too easy when compared to wood work..and weight is a critical factor..even a 2.7 meter craft weighs mere 6 kilos..so easy to work..i will add a posting that to make a hull from thermocol..cool..and once you mastered it..you never look back..crafts everywhere…unstopable…
