The figures do add that extra dimension and proportion! Excellent matey.
When taking intelligence pics you always liked to have a person in the images so as to give it perspective.

A tip if I may.
If you intend to have a Sea King on deck. Can I suggest you fly the flags 'H' '1' (Hotel One) from the mast. H1 indicates the ship is at Flying Stations and other vessels must give way as steerage is limited!! (Edited bit) H1 on a separate halyard!
Every faith it will keep the wet stuff on the outside!!
AN IF SHE IS a sailing succusess then i may fit on about 100 ultra bright 3mm led to flood lite her but ive still to fit on the rest of the crew on the stern section over the week then i'll put her all together to get some finished pics of her

Hey Chris
Those figures certainly do bring Tiger to life - they look awesome. I hope they’re all ready for the maiden voyage!
Seeing the colour in the signal flags also brings some colour to the ship, it look really celebratory and joyful now. I’m sure that Tiger will be a complete triumph on the water and I for one can’t wait to see her sail for the first time.
Great stuff Chris

Have a tube of Water Weld to hand!!! Or send a damage control party. I'm sure some of your mini-men will have it under control in no time!!
