Long ago, you could buy CP funnel decals for 1:1250 model ships. Haven't seen any for a few decades now. Use an inking pen to do your waterline/boottopping. You gotta practice, but it's the best and easiest method. Of course, you gotta be able to find a inking pen--seems that is another bit of obsolete technology that you can't find anywhere nowadays! How about a ten-cent cigar? How about 5-cents for a Coke?
