riverboat Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share #305 Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks for meeting the crew!! Dirk....... thanks for looking in..... glad you liked the crew ! Pete & Wacko...... the figures are made by Amati and I purchased them from Cornwall Model Boats. ( they come unpainted ) B.E...... Thanks again for the info you gave me, and I'm pleased that you approve of the finished look Sjors...... I gave the crew a little shore time since rigging work is still in progress, once that's finished they will be put in place Popeye...... thanks for your input..... Those Flint bros. are really quite a foursome, they look more suited for the head than they do manning cannons Frank popeye the sailor, Sjors and WackoWolf 3 Quote completed build: Delta River Co.

freewheelinguy Posted September 13, 2013 Share #311 Posted September 13, 2013 Frank, Since today is a non-modeling day (having new central air installed next to my work area), it's giving me the opportunity to look in on builds I haven't seem before. There's only so much forum read time and to read all that's contained here would require 24/7 time. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your work. I'm absolutely blown away with your weathering and detail skills. Thanks for taking the time posting and allowing us to look in as this build develops. augie and riverboat 2 Quote Happy modeling, Len Current build: HMS Bellerophon semi-scratch from plans of Victory Models HMS Vanguard Drydock: MS Constitution Completed builds: MS AVS, scratch built Syren, Victory models HMS Fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverboat Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share #314 Posted September 13, 2013 Hey Patrick, how you doing?........ thanks for your comments, the Amati figures are pretty nice, they have a lot of detail built into them, for the money you can't go wrong. It would have been nice if they came pre painted, but, It was fun painting them, even if it was a little time consuming. The eyes and hands dictated the time spent on them Frank popeye the sailor 1 Quote completed build: Delta River Co.

riverboat Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share #316 Posted September 14, 2013 Those figures look superb Frank. I'm off to Cornwall model boats website to have a look at them! I was about to order some things from them anyway, so if the scale's right I might add some to it just for a trial! (I definitely can't match your painting skills.) Arthur glad you like the crew, they would be a nice addition to your Vanguard too, just keep an eye on them, they like to party Now that's a lively bunch of sailors, Frank, beautiful paint job there!
