I think if there was a 'real' floating prototype, it would have more ship like features such as a bow at least. __________________ SILENT DUSTY "...but for a soldier his duty is plain.

Looks for like a small inflatable kid's toy to me.

Recently I saw a picture on Craig's List where a guy was selling a Flagg he had modified to float. He made a plastic or fiberglass hull that connected with the bwo and tailfan pieces. He filled the hulle with some floatation foam for bouancy, then he put some weight on the port side, opposite the island so it sat level in the water. He was selling it for a pretty penny though, but he had a picture of it sittingin water and it looked pretty nice.

The father of a kid I knew back in the '80s had built a platform that fit in their swimming pool that the kid could set the Flagg upon. Ther platform was just below the water so it looked like the FLagg was floating.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

It has thespots for the deck clips but the clips are obviously not there, why if it is a prototype? It is made exactly the same as the standard Flag. Basicly I am saying it doesn't look or act like a proto so I doubt it is, AKA its a joke. Also one of the tags says "Blantant Lies" __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week
