My biggest build/dio yet. And a learning experience

gorby
Wow that is a BIG project. 😮

Kesa Tiho
Yeah well I know kids who have made whole armouries out of cardboard and treehouses by themselves so I'd say this is a rather small project 😅 But compared to my other stuff, yeah it's pretty big. The more diorama there is, the more stuff there is to mess up

gorby
Rigging takes a lot of time patience and swearing.
I very rarely rig anything so I'm afraid I can't offer any advice (other than not do it at all 😄 ).

Kesa Tiho
Yeah well it boils down to personal preference I guess. But I really want to make this build... Approachable...? So I'd rather add as many details as I can (that includes rigging). Either way thanks for the warning, often the word of a wise man is enough 😄

Lorraine Lin
Wow, that's a big one. Following

Kesa Tiho
Yay

gorby
Very impressive rigging!

Chris Ubing
Wow, nice job.

Steven Van Dyck
To do the boot topping, use long ends of tape.

Kesa Tiho
Yeah I know but it's going to be covered up by water anyway

Steven Van Dyck
How come? That should not be covered unless it is sinking on an even keel.

Kesa Tiho
Well fuck me.... Guess its going to be historically inaccurate then.... 🙁

Steven Van Dyck
It can still be corrected if you paint grey over the red. That works with a brush too.

Very nice! late to the party but following 🙂

Kesa Tiho
I wouldn't say your late to the party at all, if I were to guess then I think I'm somewhere in the middle of the building process. Still have to make the water and wait for 1:350 Eduard PE figures so theres more than enough party to go around! 😄
