Si,

Nice progress. I seen these figures on line but been holding off purchasing them because I am not sure how to get them off the base without breaking the legs. They seem so fragile.

Thanks Mark,

I think these are going easier that most, If you look closely, they are standing a little above the base, should be able to get small side cutters in to take them off, and leave enough to hold the figure for painting, well that's what I hope.

We shall find out.

Cheers

Si

Beautiful work Si!

I´m also curious if you are more successful then me removing those figures off its pedestial. I Always spraypainted them with their basic uniform color first an then handpainted the faces and hands. The most tricky part for me was everytime the removing off their base - I had a loss rate of about 33% due to broken legs or MIA sailors resting somewhere in a dark corner of my room.

A question to Northstar Models if they have a tip for me how to tackle these at best and if it would be possible to make the pedestials more spacier for easier painting and removing the figures was unanswered... Very curious about your approach now

Si,

Really like where you are going with the base. Never thought of seeing one grounded.

I have been watching this for a while now and I have to say that this is a great blog. Cant wait to see the water Simon !

Not quite grounded mate,


she is sitting in about 45 scale feet of invisible water. I may find a way of creating the water, but with nets partially deployed that will be tricky.

We shall see.

Si,

When I seen those rocks sitting underneath the hull and the anchor chain laid out I thinking you were going to show her grounded, my mistake.

Mark

Si,

Maybe a hair net would work.

Mark

Silicon for the water?

Possibly Russ, but that is going to be quite expensive.

I might not quite have thought this through.
