I don't have other photos of the base progress before this one: I used a piece of plywood and cut the hull's shape in it, then primed and painted some blue and grey on it; cut the same shape in a piece of embossed sheet of transparent polycarbonate bought in a hardware store and glued to the wood with epoxy resin.
I fixed the hull with a couple of screws on it and then I filled the void and simulate some ripples with some clear acrylic transparent acrylic polymer in silicone-type cartridges always found at the hardware store.
Oh, I drilled holes for the ropes before fixing the clear sheet and airbrushed the corresponding underwater shadow on the painted wood
Hope to be helpful!

Another one goes away... This time however it isn't going abroad but it will be moored not so far away!

Great job, Andrea. I have yet to make a base with water for my Do-24.
Congrats!

Thank you very much Cuajete and Rui, it is an old but good one, I don't have enough space to show it properly in my home so I am glad that somebody else is appreciating and taking care of it

I have to agree with Cuajete, great job. I have a couple of these to build and your base is wonderful. Can you tell us how you made the base?

Thank you to you too, Bernd and William!
@William Joel ; I will dig in my old photo files and add to this album what I will find, bear in mind that I finished this model in 2008...

Thank you, Andrea. It seems that you also thinned the end part of the side windows to obtain a more correct shape than the kit.
How did you do that? Do you have pics?

Hi Cuajete, sorry: I don't have any more pics but I am nearly sure that I placed a spacer to widen the fuselage a bit, then sanded the canopy all around because the fit wasn't good... That is all that my memory can remember after 16 years...
