HMS Victory Storyboard Diorama

Yes! and that was for a minor offense .
i'm a us navy shipbuilder in real life. all that rigging is why we build from steel now. and why i have only done a couple (3) scale sailing ships myself. madness, utter madness!
well done sir, well done!
all those little figures would be lost in the forest if they were painted a bit more realistically/muted in distance. they would be otherwise lost against the bigger actor of the scene.
yes, the ships of the line were the star destroyers of their day.
again, well done!

It has been my experience that ship modelers have more difficulty in figuring out the sequence of the rigging than the rigging itself.I know I sure did.
When I rigged my Victory I only had a couple of ropes that were out of sequence and these I belayed to the shrouds rather than the foot of the mast.I figured that was pretty good considering this is a very complicated ship to rig properly.
This info will only be available on my photobucket and is intended for my modeling buds only.Good luck. Cheers! John.

The above pic was taken today.I was trying to compose something a little different using my Nelson bust and the model.The only problem is that the bust is fixed permanently in the case.I was severely limited in my camera angles ,lighting etc... because of this fact.
I tried silhouettes and different pics of all kinds.Normally you would not want the subject in the foreground to be out of focus but rules are made to be broken,so I tried to make the bust look like a B&W chalk image that someone drew on a photograph.I am quite happy with the results.

Hi Guys! I know it has been awhile since I posted anything to this thread.
I have been very busy getting my aircraft dioramas ready for donation to the Canada Aviation Museum.The new part of the construction is to be finished in Feb of next year but my dioramas will need to be ready to go well before that ,as they will be doing the finishing for public presentation.The fourth and last large 1/16th scale aircraft diorama will only be finished in a year or two after that, then I plan to concentrate upon finishing the running rigging part of the Victory thread and then bread box size shadow boxes of various subjects.I am very anxious to really get into shadow boxes but my other commitments must come first.
Cheers! John.
