discussion Captain Ahab !!

[monica]

well one of my next 28 mm,will be of Captain Ahab and Moby Dick,


well moby I,have made a part of his back,


still need to work on the color,of him and also add ropes and so on to him,


will get the long boat,and crew with Ahab,next Friday from Nic,is recasting it for me,


for I start it,so its less to do,


As I do like ships/boats and the sea but never do any think along theses lines,


so its a start,


will post pic,s next Friday when I,do pick it up,


as its such a nice sunny day great to get the silicone to set,and less smell as its outside,


hope you like my idea

ta Ron I,always do look into what I,m making as much as possible,and work off ,of that,just helps,plan it,


as the idea,is to have the long boat on the side with Queequeg and Ahab with the harpoons,


I have seen the film,a few times great movie,real enjoyed it,

ta Jim


I stil need to do some work on his back as,the pics were taken with the sun on them,


as it just smells so bad the silicone,will get or try to pics inside should show better


hold on be right back,


back these should show a little better as he is just starting to dive down,


and need to whiten him a bit add ropes and harpoons,and fix his spin fin thing as well,
