The bar for Scratch Building / Scale Sculpting just got raised by several notches.....

We all should appreciate and encourage scratch builders , cause what they get from their family life is quite negative.

Maharana Sir,
I tried real hard but could not find any words to describe your skills, the boat and those figurines made with M-Seal.

Rao.

Rao Garu, Miku na pani nachindi, that's my satisfaction. 
Thank you.

Maharana,
How did you fit up the cabin on the boat? How have you locked it and ensured that water does not seep in .Kindly post photos of teh bottom of the cabin and the locking mechanism of it.

I am trying to figure out ways to lock the cockpit for my Atlas.

The cabin is not water sealed with the deck, just placed it cutting the piece of deck at the  outer circumstance of cabin.

But in the case of Atlas van line ( I am unable to visualize it ), you do one thing : Make some strips out of bicycle tube, glue it at the lower edge of the cabin. Make some Nut bolt arrangement to fix the cabin, apply white grease / Vaseline when you fix the cabin.

I am checking the plan of Van line, will post some otherway to make it water tight.

its amazing!!! 

This is what I think should be able to reasonably avoid water entering from the top.

Good, you have to apply little Vaseline before each sail.
See all these things are not one shoot solution, need little bit of hit & trial to get a better result.

Maharana, my friend, this is not an ordinary model - it is a work of art. I am so proud that I know you.

Woah hard to believe. Brilliant
