That is awesome! How in the world do you think of these creations!
You must have a huge stash or a hobby store next door.

I do have a stash with some stock : I buy quite cheap kits from ebay e.a., so I have a choice to find matches that work  ;)

Especially head-on, your EC145 'pod' makes it look surprisingly modern while absolutely 1930s retro at the same time! Nice  :)

Very nice! Going by the C. XI-W, Fokker would have probably used twin floats with a small forest of struts  :P  Yours is much cleaner  :smiley:

Now I am wondering what will become of the other clog? 

The brush that the wings is attached to might also make an interesting subject without the clog.  An aircraft supported by hundreds[too many to count] tiny legs would be a very interesting study of an alternative to wheels or skids/skis.
