That's a nice display as it is. Sometimes it is best to resist fiddling with a good result. Hope you have a cover to keep the dreaded dust off.

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. to see how I do it as fine as is possible--here is my step-by-step right here on MW.com viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37536 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,,, hope it helps and inspires! stretched sprue

Great scene, and the Flower is really well done. Is that a pair of orcas I see?

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…. P.S. CarFarina is Carlo Farina like PininFarina is Giuseppe Farina (not my parent) Thanks for the hint Carlo quote="JIM BAUMANN"]Ahoy Carfarina! ( Pininfarina..?)...
