Thanks guys.

So a bit of paint shop work, before tackling the sails and rigging




There is a bit of painting outside of the lines, that needs some attention, so I see.

The sails (what I can see of them ;) ) look terrific, and the figures are a great touch.

This will do.

So a bit of lets pretend on some stuff

Like, there is a lot more rigging than there is presented and there is some sort of deadeyes, blocks and sheaves. I have a bundle of 1/72 ish deadeyes but at this scale they looked absurd, so better to leave them out.
And yes I know the Ratlines do not go further up, really about getting the impression not faithful reproduction of any sailing vessel.








The BFG is on a turntable and doctrinally should be operated as a broadside to clear sails and rigging. At this scale it is absurdly large calibre so not really feasible anyway.

Next project already on the bench and this is now awaiting the breakers yard  ;) as I have no room in the cabinet.

You should donate that to an art museum or something rather than take it apart!
