well one of my next 28 mm,will be of Captain Ahab and Moby Dick,


well moby I,have made a part of his back,


still need to work on the color,of him and also add ropes and so on to him, ;)


will get the long boat,and crew with Ahab,next Friday from Nic,is recasting it for me,


for I start it,so its less to do,:rolleyes:


As I do like ships/boats and the sea but never do any think along theses lines,


so its a start,


will post pic,s next Friday when I,do pick it up,


as its such a nice sunny day great to get the silicone to set,and less smell as its outside, :D


hope you like my idea :smiling3:

Monica. Great picture you've posted from the film Moby Dick, showing Gregory Peck (Capt. Ahab) demonstrating the fine old art of whale splitting!


Excellent film, well worth a look....
