Some Progress: The cables, blocks, and winch for the davits are done, in place, and rigged. I am starting to select and, in some cases "re-pose" figures. There's still some detail work to be done on the lifeboat, and lots of "modifying", dressing, and painting the figures. Some are pre-painted, and will not be changed, the others are either white plastic, or "flesh color plastic castings.

A close-up of the "selected" figures. I'm still looking through my "stash" to see if I can find more. The little squares of painter's tape help keep the LPB's "stable" in the standing mode. ( The bar's open, and some of them were already "falling down" ! ) :o
They will all get glued in place once I have them all painted and "arranged".I moved the ladder to the "lifeboat deck" to the after Port corner, from the original centerline position. It was too close to the glass table. The port side "Bridge deck" area will not get the canvass "cover", because of the Gravity Davits, so that side was the best place for the ladder.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
