Peter Hall has designed photoetch sets in both 1/700 and 1/350 scales that consist of floater strings to be put into your floater net baskets. You'd probably want to bulk up the floats with a bit of white glue or ACC to give them a bit more 3-dimensionality. The 1/700 version is going to be really small, though. What do you all say--shall we put them into production?

I would use the 1/350 for sure.

Ahoy, John!


Think it's a fantastic, and quite useful, idea, mate...and like you said, adding a bit of beef with some white glue would really "round them out" to a great look!

Cheers,
Mark

John,
I would like to echo my shipmates and say, yes those sound like a nice product.
