Me too ! (with AI of course) -
Wow ! Impressive ! Nice work Alan. Love the colors!

Paul Sellers has some very informative videos on YouTube on the subject of sharpening chisels and building your own sharpening jig. I personally found them very helpful in learning how to correctly sharpen chisels and plane blades. Here's a sample of one of his videos

Love the colors in the tunic. Lighting makes it pop also. Nice work Alan! Nice photography also.
-
That's disgusting! Sorry to hear that, Chuck.
-
Outstanding photos Eric
-
The principle is the same, Eric, regardless of "camera" type. If you have a real camera store close by, ask the owner or senior photo tech to show you how. The Apple Store is staffed with computer geeks not photographers.

If the camera has a Tungsten/Indoor setting, use it instead of Auto. But if your indoor lighting is 5600K (Kelvin) LEDs, then use the Daylight setting. If you're an old film guy like me and have a set of the old Kodak Gray Scale step cards and Color Cards use them to color balance or use an 18% reflective grey card with the white reverse side then use the White side to adjust white balance. Most indoor lighting is around 3200K From "An old 35mm film photographer" who still has all his old equipment and darkroom. Those last two overall photos look fine. Nice job blending foregroundvwith background.

Nice detail!
-
Another superlative figure Alan. Great job. The lighting is much better in the last group of photos, brings out the details better.
-
The darker brown definitely makes the tunic stand out more. Nice job.
-
Double Wow ! Amazing !
-
As a general rule, whenever I get a Model Shipways kit I throw out the included rigging thread and purchase the equivalent size SYREN thread from Chuck. Works and looks a whole lot better. Great looking model, Sal. Nice job 👏

My problem is the tenants in the apartments on the street behind me and 3 houses to the east of me; they leave cans of cat food on their front stoop for the feral cats. So there's a whole colony of them in the woods across from the apartments. When my 3 Corgis were alive the cats would not come through our fence, even tho the Corgis just looked at them and sorta said "ho hum that must be a cat! ho hum" and never gave chase. We've tried for years to get the Town to do a "capture, neuter, release" but that seems to be above their intellectual capacity.

They lay in ambush under my dwarf Japanese Maple (Acer) right next to the bird bath waiting for a small song bird to stop for a drink/bath then leap up onto the bird bath. I've see 3 different feral cats 🐈 catch Sparrows, Finch, Nuthatches, et al. Repel All spray works sometimes but I finally had to purchase a couple rolls of Scat-Cat Mats from a garden supply and lay them out under the trees.

My wife had that same condition but only in one hand. She had outpatient surgery to correct it, in-out same day no hospital stay no skin grafts. Now she's fine, no relapse. Consult a really good hand surgeon OC. Get several medical opinions.

I think everyone is trying to stock up before the tariffs go into effect. People around here are stocking up on cans of tuna fish (Vietnam) olive oil & pasta (Italy), etc. ABC had a piece on it this morning. Glad to hear tho that business on your end is booming.

Photography looks good to me, Javlin. If you're not happy with the background, get some tri-fold presentation board, foam or card stock, from Michaels. It come in a variety of sizes, e.g., 36x48, and different colors, i recommend white as it will help fill in the shadows.
