I won't be able to finish in time. You can go ahead and end it for this month.

That's a cool warband, KidCthulhu! I especially like the lady with the white face makeup.

The white flag waves for me once again...

My motivation this year has been absolutely zilch, and I don't know why.

Was like that for me last year. I know how it is. I ended up totally sidetracked by work and going fishing in the summer and autumn. I will probably hardly enter during the summer myself as I am focused on my fishing goals as soon as the good weather arrives! I think I’m discovering modeling and painting is very much a cold weather hobby for me. I will try to get something done each month but I know productivity will absolutely decline varying on season now.

P.S. That ship is stunning Captain Brown. Well done on completing the project… what an epic result! Love it!

Thank you XvArcanevX. Although I think yours fits better, especially with the dakkadakka vibe.

I took some photos with a lighter background as the black background hid all that painful to string rigging. I thought I was pretty smart pre-building some brass to connect the ends in several places...until I discovered that vents, canvas, pipes, Carley floats, etc. had effectively hidden them from access with my tweezers. Several parts had to be snapped off (with many unkind words spoken) and re-installed after the lines were run.


Actually the purple is not much better...I just do not have a white sheet to use (borrowing one from a bed may result in me being keelhauled by Mrs. Captain Brown...even though I am the one who fits them after washing).

Cheers,

CB

It’s an epic build… good job on the white background for the pic.. that rigging brings it even more to life. It’s honestly a really impressive build… so much work goes into those things. I’ve not built a ship yet but want to… in fact, my absolute dream build and ambition modeling wise is to get access to a large scale model of the Orca from Jaws. Something in resin or plastic that I can construct and weather and paint like the real thing. It truly would represent the pinnacle for me … sadly, I can’t locate such a model at this time.

One day…

Can I be super jammy and sneak these in under the wire since I finished them this Feb?

Proof


The final 3 Orlocks repainted

That’s fine. Feb is extra short anyway.

OK, time to vote:
