Long9Ron Posted April 6, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2013 I was thinking of building myself a waterline marker and was wondering if any of our members had a good design that I might be able to follow in some way. I did a search on MSW and the web, but didn't come up with much. I would like to build one that is not mickey mouse, one that will last be for some time to come. So, if anyone has some pictures of their DIY waterline marker, could you please post them here. Thanks Quote Ron Current Build: H.M.S.

justsayrow Posted April 6, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 6, 2013 The easiest one I saw was on the old MSW site: stick a pencil thru a styrofoam coffee cup. just turn the cup and poke through another sector of it for the next model!

bogeygolpher Posted April 7, 2013 Share #4 Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) This is about as cheap as you can get. You can use it with the model upside down or right side up.

Garward Posted April 18, 2013 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2013 Here one more design of a waterline marker made of a desk lamp (after use as a marker the lamp is easily restored before the initial appointment ).
