Welcome to the winged section - count me in I have my comfy chair ready. OC. -
Wowzer look at all them - superb work Phil amazing work. OC.

Just saw the latest posts - superb tidy work Jeff. OC.

Next stages with the crew is to add a lady figure who will represent the commordore's daughter, also we want a couple of crew climbing the shrouds, and a few more on deck. possibly one or two up in the tops. OC.

"Pointy end" was about planes having a pointed nose (most of them) would be good if you started an aircraft build yourself. OC.
-
What a great start - that radial looks Superb. OC.
-
Yep I understand about the guns - I was feeling the same with my Greyhound build - and I hadn't even got to the canons yet. OC.
-
Next on the crew production line - Jack Sparrow - ish (captain). And a poop deck scene showing both so far. OC.

Hi all, more progress, figure number one placed on look out on the poop (he was facing the wrong direction on the forecastle). OC.

Sounds like a plan mate, I think painting across different profiles is very akward even with masking. OC.
-
The first one (photographed) is the look out - the admiral wants him on the forecasstle, he needs to have his base removing then gluing down on his feet. OC.
-
Yep, next build wil be a Revell 1/48 Mosquito its in the Aircraft build section. OC.
-
Thank you mark, yep there a challenge all right - have to have them right under the magnifier and with the light even lower. OC.
-
Thanks for the explanation lou, next project is the mosi building in my late farthers memory, I think a few crew should give the pearl some life. they seemed to become skeletons when it suited them (mainly night time) OC.
-
Thank you kindly ken, yep the figures at 1/72 scale sure do take some work and good eyesight/steady hand. OC.

Hi all, the parcel man delivered my figures today but first things first I needed to place the three lanterns on the rear bulkhead, then I soaked the figures in soapy water and took one of the spru's - this one is a pirate looking through a telescope, they are made in red styrene but painted up quite well using acrylics and a very fine brush under my magnifier. So one is finished - think it looks ok. OC.
