Indeed!

It will make a great sister ship.

Your Japanese Nef's look fantastic.  I am planning on another bout of ship building in the New Year (it's just too cold at the moment) and will be using these as inspiration for a full Japanese fleet (1/300th scale of course).

Hoorah! Get drunk and make a nef, lets see what you come up with.

Hang on, that's a good idea for a build contest; see what we build under the influence. Tadaaa!

[gamer Mac]

Is that not what you always do 

[The Dozing Dragon]

Only just caught up with this thread - wow! Stunning work.

[Axebreaker]

I just spotted the thread myself and really cool stuff and nice painting!

Coming along very nicely James. My planned nef builing work for this weekend had to go on hold due to a family emergency. However, I'm now back home and thinking about doing some more tonight - to be fuelled by a large G&T 

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks again chaps.

Dave, looking forward to seeing progress on that one   (hope the family business wasn't too bad)

I've started to sculpt a Japanese navy crew member as there aren't really any generic crew types that took my fancy and although my sculpting technique leaves a lot to be desired I thought I'd have to give it a go sometime or other.

There is still the head and hands to do and I cheated and used an E-bob mannequin   One step at a time of course as this is the first 'full' sculpt I've done.






To be honest I'm fairly happy with it so far but time will tell  

I would like some honest C+C ad any tips that folks might have to help me improve

*EDIT* MY God those pictures are awful    Will sort that out later 

cheers

Looks really good Jim.
The uniform look great, not so sure about the feet they look a bit big. Big tackity boots.
Like the animation in the pose.
How are you going to make him more Japanese.

[OSHIROmodels]

Cheers Colin. I think the existing head throws the scale out a bit but on a second look the feet do look a tad large 

Making him look Japanese will all be down to the new head. I'm goin to trt for the Copplestone look (but tone down the cheek bones a little bit, if I can  )

cheers

Annoying isnt it. Very impressive though James.

[Svennn]

Looking very good indeed. Can't say I'm surprised though after seeing all the buildings and accessories.

It has a kind of bauhaus look/feel about it?
