Exclamation Exhaust funnel and upper structure

I decided to start with the easy parts first since those are basic and self explanatory.

here is the "winged" funnel typical of all the Carnival ships

and the parts to make it

the small base. All the edges are glued without any added tabs. That is why you need heavy card so the edges can glue to each other with ease.

base is ready

here is the sub assembly

here are the funnel wings. I added small pieces of wood coffee stirrer to add some shape to the wings.

here is the funnel. Notice the small round intake has a mismatch in diameter. Either the face plate is too big, or the tube behind is to small. This is a minor item easy to fix.

comment: The white areas are delineating the parts to be glued on top of them. My suggestion to the designer is to overpaint a bit of the inside in case of a mismatch. I aligned the front edge, but the back was a tiny bit too short.

Also, add small card to the inner edges to help in the location of the parts.
