Thank s for your comments

had fun with this one.
though i did have a problem when finally glueing the floats in place, the two contact points popped up in the square fixing holes on the rear struts and stuck tight so instead of trying to remove and redo them I left as is.
I have been thinking about a base of sorts to put it on, my first idea was to build a catapult but time wouldn't allow it then i thought of a trolley but don't have any suitable wheels

so because time is short I may try some sort of sea scene....
