[langy71]

You made 1/700 car tyres ?....... ''MATRON.........MATRON !!!.....Wabble is running down on his meds again, he's making the rest of us look inadequate, he needs a couple of shots to calm him down a bit...'' :tongue-out3: :upside: :tongue-out3:

Cool down Chris, cool...only made 42 and only one left over. Just like the monkeys, I won't be attempting anymore. :smiling2:

Phew, I was beginning to start perspiring heavily and not on account of the hot weather. :smiling6:

I think they do poop but the cleaners are ever present. It's so clean that alleyways turn into little Ramen and bar shops. Each back door has potted plants. There's no rubbish for the Gulls to chomp on.

Today I took it easy and did the anchor chains and ropes tied to floating bouys and bilge spouts. Photos later tonight.

That's insane.......

 

[Neil Merryweather]

That's insane.......

Certainly is...bilge spouts at 1-700?

 

[Jim R]

Truly jaw dropping work Richard.

 

[rtfoe]

Thanks guys, 19 bilge spouts...this is what happens when you do a dio harbour. Next time I'll stick to single or two ship dioramas. :confounded::smiling6:

Richard, our ambitions sometimes exceed our abilities....not true in your case.....just marvelous eye candy all around! This should be a real headturner at the upcoming show.

Thanks Rick, unfortunately in the show it will only be seen from the front, this needs an all round view...
More pictures as final bits and pieces come together...

Rope a dope...

Put your backs into this fellas...

Sake under the tent...

Water play and waves...

With all this done I only have figures left to fill on the dock and auxiliary vessels.

Cheers,
Wabble

 

[rtfoe]

This section still needs figures...


If you look closely there are none.

Cheers,
Wabble

At 1-700 scale, how large is the base? could it be mounted on a rotating display stand? That would be awesome to be able to have the view change continuously.....sort of like watching the world go by! :nerd:

 

[Mark1]

A great scene, the bilges are a really affective bit of detailing.

 

[stillp]

Amazing!
