KNP Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Good to get home to see your pics again Kevin, very nice mate. Thanks, hope you had a good break and ready for the 7mm challenge....! Been doing the running rigging today on Misty - nearly there, just the main mast to go but at this scale even I was all finger and thumbs using blocks that where only 2.5mm long..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Talk about another group just standing about chatting..... When on earth are they going to move that crate? Surely they must have some idea, it's getting to the point that I might just go and move it for them! 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) That group are posed superbly, you can almost hear the conversation and the the negativity from some as they obviously don't agree with the managers ideas Thanks. I spend a lot of time first selecting the figures to use with regard to the pose and then setting them out. It helps being able to visualise in you mines eye how they can roughly stand before buying them! Eye contact is a good starting point as in any group discussion you will see people listening with their eyes, by that I mean they will be looking at either who they are talking too or who is doing the talking. Doesn't always ring true but it is a good way to start. I've tried this all over the layout and by the comments I've had it seems to have worked.

When on earth are they going to move that crate? 1650.jpg Surely they must have some idea, it's getting to the point that I might just go and move it for them! Well if you hadn't tied the crate to the truck so well in the first place maybe they could unload it. That's an impressive looking knot in 1/76 scale I must say. Mind you the figures are posed in such a way that I am not even sure some of them have hands to help anyway.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Ahhh....there she is. Whist canoeing down the River Dribble I came across Misty moored to the fitting out quay. Took a couple of snaps in the afternoon sun as I paddled by. A few more things to add, one being the nets draped over the main lifting boom as if they are drying out. Not sure yet, still an idea. Fore and aft running lights are the most obvious omission at the moment as I'm not totally happy with the ones I've got as they appear a bit to large so they haven't been fitted yet. And before anyone comments they are not gun ports just above the main rubbing strake, they are used to clearing sea water off the main deck so are opened as and when necessary. If you look hard you will notice that the masts and booms are made out of old paint brush handles - waste not, want not!!! Those rigging blocks are 2.5mm long and can be termed as very fiddly to do - patience is a major requirement as they seemed to have a mind of their own especially when trying to tension the rigging cord.....! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Misty looks just the part, Kevin; very good stuff. Having just failed to manage a Ratio bracket signal because of my chip fingers and general hamfistedness, I am in awe of this and cannot imagine the concentration or dexterity needed to rig those blocks, yet you make so light of it! The booms look to have real weight and heft, not an easy thing to pull off in this scale! Edited November 17, 2018 by The Johnster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This model has been built over the last 4 years, mainly because I would do a bit.....then get on with something else......then come back to it...….then get on with another item and so on. Sort of the story of Little Muddle - always flitting from one item to the other then back again - normally to alter as I thought of a better way!!!!

KNP Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Got the Squadron Leader to have a fly past Misty whilst she was on her shake down cruise down the river.....well dining table to be exact Also I need to sort out a crew that looks like they are tidied up against a harbour wall and not in heavy seas as most of the available figures seem to be. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold A Murphy Posted November 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2018 Kevin this is an excellent addition to a great thread. Apologies if you have already explained but how did you build Misty? Is she scratch built or did you use a kit as a basis? best wishes, Alastair M 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
