Hi Folks,

Some figures for the Pier. A couple of tea Drinkers for around the NAAFI Van and a couple of resting truck crew posibly for the Pier road. A bit more facial work required. Vehicle for scale.

They look very good Alan, but then following the rest of your Pier 51 build thats to be expected as the whole is top class.

Hi Alan

They look good, very relaxed, now they only need the old fisherman next to them:
"In my days, these bl**y contraptions wouldn't be here! We would use sail boats and give those Jerry's a lesson"

Keep up - you're almost there!

Hi Lucinao and Skipper,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to work on some little old ladies with tea trays and plates of grub.

Cheers

Looking good.
Not that I would know what to do about it and it may just be the photo or something but, the hatless, standing gentlemans pants look shiny to me.

Hi Gus,

some more figs I'm workng on for the pier.

A couple of ARW for the top of the light might work.



Some more dockers and loaders



Some railwaymen to work on the goods wagons



A Sub Lt for another project



I hope to build a few of the ladies tonight, I have 2 for the mobile canteen, some women and children for the pier road and a couple of madams doing business around the back of the goodwagons.

Lots to do lol, lol.

Cheers

Al
