Hi Kenny,

An interesting and unusual kit, thanks for the info. Not my genre, but having seen what jba can do with a partial kit I'm sure someone will have a lot of fun with this one.

Cheers

Interesting idea, wonder what the future figures will be.

They're some photos on the Cutting Edge website. http://www.meteorprod.com/

I'm a bit perplexed, but then I am not a real fan of figure building. I put them in dioramas because they are neccessary. I have one dio that has 50 figures in it and I have another planned that will have probably around 20. As for the ship, I would rather have the whole ship, and I sure wouldn't tackle this one in 35th scale.

Thanks Kenny.

What a totally unique and original idea. The closest thing I can think to compare it to is the 200mm figure of the B-17 waist gunner with a portion of the planes side.

My guess is this will be far out of my price range, but I would LOVE to see it built at a show some day. If I ever get skilled enough to do figures justice I would jump at doing this one.

I think that it is an interesting idea. It looks very well for what it is- the fighting top.

It is a difficult task to model just a section of sailing ship. You end up with ropes to no where, like the forestay and the upper shrouds on this. Even if this were the whole mast, deck to truck, the stays, bowlines and braces would have no where to end or have to be left off. Tough one to call, I wonder if the folks who build the mast cross sections will be interested.
