Twilight  Hobbyist Posts: 102 Kudos: 76 Votes: 92 Registered: 15-Oct-2007   |  Edited by TwilightThis is what we've settled on. My boys are delighted. It's a plastic model, at 1/78 scale, with the colours in the plastic, rather than painted on. The propeller turns slowly in the current. Now to get some java moss to cover the plastic hollow log.... I vote! Do you?  |

keithgh     *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003   | It looks too good why not break it up a bit and make it look more natural. When a bit of algae grows on it this will also help. A good find. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?  VOTE NOW VOTE NOW |

| Twilight Hobbyist Posts: 102 Kudos: 76 Votes: 92 Registered: 15-Oct-2007 | Thank you. It is a corsair, which happens to be a favourite of mine. If I must have tacky decorations, at least I should at least like them.  We contemplated distressing it a bit, but I didn't want to do any permanent damage until I decided if it was going to be staying. We talked about a bit of painted 'damage' too, but I'm worried about off-gassing. I vote! Do you? |
