That's a nice display as it is. Sometimes it is best to resist fiddling with a good result. Hope you have a cover to keep the dreaded dust off.

Thanks Donald!!!

Ahoy Carfarina! ( Pininfarina..?)... ( which one? )

anyhow-- your model looks pretty good to me...

BUT... maybe not on this model.... but on your next one

practise rigging first.

to see how I do it as fine as is possible--here is my step-by-step right here on MW.com

Rigging should be almost not able to be seen...
If in doubt -take a 1/700 or 1/350 figure ( OE or 3-d print/ resin --as appropriate--and compare your rigging thickness to the
thickness of the arm or leg of the small figure--that way you can see how thin it should be,,,


hope it helps and inspires!


stretched sprue

Great scene, and the Flower is really well done. Is that a pair of orcas I see?

Love it. Great job!
At first the pier looked somewhat empty, but on the other side, I wouldn't expect too many people on there at that time either. So I'd leave it as it is.

Thanks Jim, you are right, for the first time I used the 1/700 metal wire for rigging. The result is not outstanding�.
P.S. CarFarina is Carlo Farina like PininFarina is Giuseppe Farina (not my parent)


Thanks for the hint

Carlo
