After a coat of primer I shot the first coat of Tamiya flat white.Since it will have contact with the water at least 3 coats will be required.

Yeah I have to use the 6 foot diameter kiddie pool when the weather cooperates in June or July!

Yes1That would be a wise precaution.

I saw a Youtube video that featured a guy who took a Revell Wasa sailing ship and modified to float in a swimming pool.I have a Lindberg Jolly Roger pirate ship that I decided to make it a sailor.Glued the hull halves and transom with Zap A Gap and clamped it over night.The video recommended that you use pennies as ballast so I filled up the sink and added pennies along the keel until it was balanced correctly.I locked the pennies in place with 2 part resin and let it float for an hour.No leaks and the attitude in the water seems correct.Should be a fun project.

My local Hobbytown is closing on Sunday,I picked up this 1/48 JU-52 for a little over 13 bucks! -
The chassis is secured to the body with 4 screws.Does that make it a promo or Snaptite?
-
Man !funny suggestions but I might just turn it into a slot car(still have to paint it though).
