You could get one of those Phicen figures for Chrissie hanging onto the buoy.

Fishing real out of printer but think I will do it again and make the little bottle screws out of brass as they feel like they will break off at any point

Hello Did you thicken up the chair frame as it looks beefer than your previous iteration

I think it’s just the light. I did screw it together instead of glue it this time.

Obviously I had to make the harness. Think the NECA scale one will be harder to make.

making a small saw for planking today. I’ve been going back to ORCA v2 every other day to get some distance which help me to spot bits I’ve got wrong or missed. Getting the hull right this time is the sticking point . I’ve drawn it 6 times now

Well that’s it 38’1” . I’m scaling at 1:8.75 again based on Quint's hight, as all 3 NECA figures are 8” I picked Quint at 5’10” as it’s his boat.

 

[flimzy]

The difference in Hooper 5’5” to the scale of the NECA toy is quite a bit

Harness is looking spify...and that fishing rod is the bomb

What a great way to do the harness! It's perfect! The foam and thicker leather (compared to the seat cushions) looks fantastic! The Hooper body and clothes look great too!

 

[flimzy]

Ok, couldn’t resist it as I’m scaling from a full size model it’s easy to print my bucket list ORCA 6th scale. Not as intimidating as you would think

 

[ID10T]

THAT is a bigger boat...

 

[joberg]

You'll need a bigger shed
