When you allow for the magnifying effect of water, a 1/144 rusty old bike woud be just right. Martian The Evil One 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laws of physics on earth are obviously different than Mars. 1000/200 = 5 1000/144 = 6.9 So by my calcs you've lost your paddle (unless of course Scottish bikes are bigger ) Rail uprights fixed Managed to solder up the stern rails (0.2mm diameter brass rod) Meanwhile I taped up the hull plates, couple of coats of paint should be sufficient to show plate thickness Result! I've suggested this method a few times but this is the first time using it Thanks for stopping by Kev 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 All right, I got it wrong. Have you never heard of artistic licence? I now think you should do it with weeds, fish, and a discarded mangle as well. Martian in a Huff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clipper Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Wouldn't worry about perfection with the rails or the plating too much, the puffers were 'well worked' :-) Edited August 6, 2017 by clipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
