Ive done some more on the floats they are just about finished now except for a bit of a sand
They are nice and big Steve !!
I guess they had to be, this plane was designed to land on the open ocean not a lake or river like most seaplanes
Here's some pics, round off the top surface in a series of flats then blending them into a curve
EPS is very easy to work with a knife but it must be a stiff but thin blade that is RAZOR sharp. Then you can carve it like it was a potato

“The knack of flying is learning how to throw your machine at the ground and miss.”
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your thoughts turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." ~Leonardo Da Vinci
