Sparrow finally sets sail. I finally finished writing all the tips and editing all the pictures.
This one has a bit of everything, research, planning, figures, painting, assembly, scratch building, presentation...... I hope you like it.

Thanks!

Excellent article Scott.

GREAT article Scott!! And great subject/model too! well, 14 pages is a lot for my english skills and i will have to start all over again but you prove that dioramas is the king of modelism genres because here you can really DARE, you are only limited by your imagination!

Arrrrr!!! Nice work matey!

It's got a great sense of action/motion.

Excellent job documenting the build too!

Cheers,
Jim

PS: About those links... try putting them back in. I need to see them in action to figure out why they are failing.

Thanks for the complements
It was a blast to build and I hope some people can learn a tip or trick.



PS - the links are on page 14

Hi scott,

As somebody who has an interest in the subject of the time of the Pirates and often enjoy playing a variety of games, I have really enjoyed both the review and the pictures that accompany the text.

I have often looked at the Pirates series by Verlinden and may well look again with an intention to buy as I feel a little inspired by the work that you have done.

Many thanks, and this is my first visit to Model Geek, so I may now visit again.

Great article Scott, well written ,easy to follow with and great photography. I always wanted to do something with water and waves and I had read many others on how to achieve such, but your has a bit more since to it. You put in a ton of time and effort into this article feature, you deserve a round of applause.

Joe

Thanks Joe - the encouragement makes the work worth it Hopefully you jump in and try some water - just ask any questions, I'd be happy to help.

John - pirates are Great, a bit of color, a bit of 'fantasy', total creativity, and you keep a bit of military base too.
Hope to see you around MG more often - it's a fun place

Great article and well executed dio.
It's well worth reading and learning a few new tricks and also getting a reminder of a lot of features already showed on Modelgeek.

Well done Scott

Cheers
Claude
