The next project......

Rigging I can cope with........that's a lot of railings though
Got me scalpel ready. I'm more bothered by what I'm going to do with it once it's built..........any suggestions?

Breathe a huge sigh of relief?

Alternatively turn my back garden into a scale diorama of an open cast mine......

Actually how big is it going to be whan finished. Would you have dimensions for us. I think a center round table would be a nice place to put it. It has to be in a glass case.

Cheers,

Hi Richard,

Dimensions below......

I'm not sure my house is big enough to have it as a table centre piece and not sure how that would be received as a nice an idea as I personally think it is

I know you'll be looking in horror when you finally open the box James, but I thought I'd let everyone else in on the number of railings you got to clean up. I also forgot to mention all the rigging ....

There are four of these sprues

Mustn't forget the rigging

Anyway. That's why mine ain't gonna get builded!!

Gern,

This is what I'd planned to use for rigging (see photo), should look a bit more like scaled down wire ropes.....

This made me chuckle:

James,
This is certainly not for the faint hearted. I will tag along if I may.

So an update.

The box arrived, and sometimes something isn't quite what you expected but return address was model shop so I thought this must be it ♂️ at 50cm x 10cm x 20cm it's hardly daunting........almost like a ship model. Which as I pulled it out and was greeted with HMS Hood found it was. I think who ever ordered the hood kept quiet and got quite a shock when their box arrived!

Anyway after a couple of emails the Baggar was redispatched and when I arrived I immediately knew it was right as I couldn't see the delivery driver, just a box!
It's impressive to say the least!

Will put some.oics up in the next day or so, but not sure when I'm going to get round to this, first issue is deciding where to put it when it's complete?

Build a ship instead and use the railings for that. :upside:
