I feel it is too big for the base & would have preferred it in a larger scale 90mm - to hard to see for my eyes!

Have they considered doing a female, steampunk version they are incredibly popular at present & this one is crying out to be done in a brightly coloured leotard with various Victorian bits carefully added to cover the bits we shouldn't see (or at least Colin's boss shouldn't

Hi guys,

Personally I can't see what all the fuss is about .............

The thing I find most surprising is the fact that I seem to have more views and comments than I normally do for one of my figures

Hi Friend's.

I thought I would do something a little different.I bought this cheap pre coloured snap together kit.

Well what a mistake that was,upon opening the box all I saw was nothing,I thought I had been ripped off but then I put my hand in the box and felt something even though I couldn't see.
I realised that the parts were in the box,no problem I thought.

There were 10 part's in the kit,head arm's torso,shoe's,leg's and hand's.

I managed to feel my way around the part's of the kit before I snapped them together.One really annoying problem I had was that I dropped a part,it took me about 2 hour's to find.My wife had thought I had gone madder than usual because I was running my hand's slowly over the floor and desk.

Having finally managed to put the kit together.I decided to add some ink wash's to add depth to the kit,of course I used invisible ink.I then placed the finished kit on this wooden plinth.

Over all I think I did enjoy doing this kit and would recommend it to anyone interested in this sort of model.
Hope you like.
All the best.
Ralph.

I found the female version on a well known auction site, scale is 90mm or there abouts.

Thanks guys.

A female version? I never knew they did a female version. Why oh why did I settle for the crummy clothed male version. Oh woe is me!!

I bought the 1/50 HMS Victory kit from the same firm some time ago in order to complete my Battle of Trafalgar naval diorama.
As clearly seen,there are up to 8 ships of the line in there, with their full crew (about 500 figures).
I tried to do my best with the freeand painting the sides of the base with marine related elements such as turtles and pink fishes.
I would like also to include an Spongebob holding the nameplate, But I'm not sure if that would be appropiate to the napoleonic era.
Anyway thanks for looking!
Cheers

I dont see the attraction for this kind of kit. The paint is so thin as to be almost non existent, the groundwork is barely visible to all but the keenest eyes and the pose makes it look like the figure might as well not be there. I wont be buying one......
PS
Ive been on a couple of base manufacturers websites and they seem to be full of these kits!

I can only marvel at the decades of work that must have gone into this magnificent naval diorama. You can almost smell the salt and feel the wind in your hair ........ if I had any hair.

Ralph, I just hit upon an idea after reading Viking Bob's post.

Get with him so that you can obtain a female version for yourself. On the base put one of them there brass rods as is used to display busts. Now you'll have your own invisible pole dancer!

I know its my idea, and credit ought to go to Viking Bob as well. However, I feel that since this is your thread, it is only proper that you be the first.

(and your wife doesn't have to know either. Your secret is good with me, and Viking Bob, and garyhiggins, and Jimmy S, and .....)

I think the pole dancing idea would be a good, but you would need a far larger base. I would be fine posing the woman but I can't speak for Ralph having to do so many ogglering men!
I would think he would need a much larger cabinet!
