I agree though, the model is spectacular. Innocent of Mars 👽 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 I think you exaggerate a bit, it's not bad, but it's not that great, there are things I'd do different now and some things that i couldn't do the way I wanted. One way or the other thanks for the long lasting support. Its on the final stretch and I hope that the RFI will be within a week..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugle07 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Crew as well! As they say in the Ferrero Roche ad, "You're really spoiling us!" Stunning build, been a pleasure to watch it all come together. Now, about hiring out those spiders... Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidday Michael, doesn't that apply to just about all of us, at some point in time? And I disagree with you, it IS a great model. 👍 Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Is all of that rigging stretched sprue? If so, I’m a convert. That’s amazingly good. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Thanks, 95% of it Steve. The kites, lines hanging from them to yardarms and the 6 lines that go to vents from the long horizontal one are 0.06 stainless steel wire, everything else is stretched sprue. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman 29 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I love that! What whiskey? .. What is the reference of these figurines? 😊 Do I recognize any Trumpeter figures? Pascal. Edited April 15, 2020 by Iceman 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 It's gin ... Dudes are from Northstar, 3D prints. Didn't even know that trumpy is doing any crews in 1:350. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisbod Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Great build Mick! Can I ask where you source your ultra thin rigging wire? Many thanks, Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 That is simply stunning. Having recently given up on using stretched sprue for the rigging in BULOLO and gone to Uschi thread, I am in awe.

Alan P Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Sorry for missing your two whole years of work, only just caught up after seeing your RFI photos. Outstanding painting and rigging, I'm still struggling to get my head around the fact that it's mostly stretched sprue 🤔 Maybe it really was the plastic-spinning spider? Anyway, superb modelling all round, thanks for sharing so many good tips and tricks. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
