Thanks so much for the reply.

What is the best way to drill the slotted holes for the scuppers? Is it best to just try to drill multiple holes close together? It doesn't seem to work all that well.

That is the way most people do it. They then use a file to smooth the rough edges and turn it into a slot. If you have a smooth hand you could drill one hole, then switch to a side cutting end mill and try your hand at cutting it with that. I'd practice on some scrap wood before trying it on the model. Make sure and wear eye protection.

Thank you for confirming that. I will continue doing it as I have been.
