Thanks

[quote="Neptune"]Love it. Great job!
At first the pier looked somewhat empty, but on the other side, I wouldn't expect too many people on there at that time either. So I'd leave it as it is.

Thanks Jim, you are right, for the first time I used the 1/700 metal wire for rigging. The result is not outstanding…. :huh: :huh:
P.S. CarFarina is Carlo Farina like PininFarina is Giuseppe Farina (not my parent) :thumbs_up_1:


Thanks for the hint

Carlo


quote="JIM BAUMANN"]Ahoy Carfarina! ( Pininfarina..?)... ( which one? )

anyhow-- your model looks pretty good to me...

BUT... maybe not on this model.... but on your next one

practise rigging first. :thumbs_up_1: :cool_2:

to see how I do it[u] as fine as is possible[/u]--here is my step-by-step right here on MW.com

Rigging should be almost not able to be seen...
If in doubt -take a 1/700 or 1/350 figure ( OE or 3-d print/ resin --as appropriate--and compare your rigging thickness to the
thickness of the arm or leg of the small figure--that way you can see how thin it should be,,, :big_grin: :thumbs_up_1:


hope it helps and inspires!
