Triton airscoops

[G Doggett]

Although the Toysport Triton is a great looking boat I felt the rear deck looked a bit bare, so the other night I got creative and carved myself a pair of engine airscoops from soft pine.
They are copied from the scoops on the Fountain Pier 57 race boat.
Whatcha think ?
My pet painter has gone on holiday so they will have to stay bare until mid January.

I like them:). It does give it that much more of a scale look

Nice job. I can't even draw two circles the same size.

Glad you like em.
Maybe 'carved' was the wrong word, it conjures up the image of some old fart sitting on his front porch with a corncob pipe and a pocket knife.
I haven't quite reached that stage yet, but some of my fellow club member might disagree !
The 'manufacturing' process simply involved drawing the outline on a piece of wood and then cutting to shape with a small handsaw and files, and then lots of sanding with coarse sandpaper.
I enjoy making stuff like this.
