I finished modeling the figure of Juno. Do you have remarks or wishes?

Now I want to continue working. I do not like the old decor. Now I have learned to do a lot better. I started to model head figure. This is the Roman goddess Juno (the first name of the vessel). This is only a sketch, without detailing.

I shudder to think what my skills would deliver!
 
Brilliant work. I love viewing people's work who pay a great amount of attention to detail - now I must just do the same  

I got a more high quality photos of this model
 
 

Today I saw application of my decor. I will not be modest. I like

Calling her Oliver Cromwell was also a way for the colonists to send a subtle insult to the English king,

Probably every modeller wants to build a model in the Navy Board style. In 2004 I started to model the American privateer Oliver Cromwell in 1/48 ( original built in 1776). Model is built on drawing from Harold Hahn's book "Ships of the American Revolution and their models". The model is not completed at this time.

Hi Dziadeczek !
 
Thanks for feedback! This lion I painted step by step for about 3 years, gradually bringing to perfection. I was very much helped by advice of friends. I looked at your proposal and agreed with him. It will be better this way. Initially, the lion was correct, but after cutting out groove for stem, his back became lean.
 
I will consider your wish. Thanks again

We just finished some work on our house, which included major renovations to my workshop.  I thought of putting up a build log of the renovations, but it wasn't me doing the work, and I just never got it together.
 
My old workshop was my dream workshop when we moved into the house. It was the first time I ever had a dedicated room, and it was decent size, around 17x12 feet. It was a usual basement room: unfinished, with exposed insulation, uncovered small part-eating gap between slab and wall, and just got outgrown as I go more tools and tried to work on two projects at once.  The room was off a “two-car garage”, which only fit two cars if they are parked front to back.  I used my table and band saws there.
 
At the urging of my tremendously supportive wife, we put up an insulated wall that splits the garage and creates a new second workshop room. There is a third furnace room in back, which we were able to clear out.  All three rooms will be part of the new workshop.  The two front rooms got:
 
-Sheet rock over ceilings and exposed insulation
-Painted walls, ceilings, and floors
-lights and electrical outlets
-dehumidifier with drain for condensate
-vent for spray booth
-molding covering gap between walls and slab where parts always disappeared
-utility sinks
 
The unfinished furnace room got lights and electrical outlets.  The epoxy floors should be dry enough that I can start to move my tables and tools back in over the weekend.  Plan is for storage and big sawdust producing machines in the unfinished room (band saw and table saw). Still working on the layout of the other rooms.  Most likely paint and assembly in the new room with the spray booth vent, and wood and metal small power tools in the old workshop.  I don’t think I will outgrow this workshop, and now could build something bigger than a model if I ever want to.
 
Some pictures below. The camera on my phone made the rooms look a lot darker than they really are - the lighting is great.   I didn’t take any of the furnace room. It looks like an unfinished basement room with a furnace in the corner, but now with lights and enough electrical outlets.  First two pictures are the new room, second two are the renovated old workshop room.
 
Should be able to get back to Echo in a week or so.  It’s been sitting on the shelf if my office waiting. 

Very very nice work, fantastic model.
