Sherry,

 

I'm slowly catching up and I think "wow" is appropriate for your build.   WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have managed to put all those spindle/balusters/balustindles to good use! :D  A little error in my planning led to less work - only 80 spindles were needed.

I've made and installed more of the decorations as well.

Grant: Thank-you! I have to sheepishly confess that I am really soaking up these "wows". :blush:

Outstanding work Sherry.....
That made me laugh. With my strange sense of humour, I'm sitting here picturing my little balcony attached to your house! Maybe the butterflies could use it?  :P
Thanks for the compliment! 
 
Michael: Thank-you! Can't deny it, I definitely have a love for wood working. Something tells me that a few other people here are the same.  ;)

Hey Sjors!

 

I agree Sherry is doing an amazing job but I'm worried about your offer of having her do your balcony! You realize it would be to a scale of 1:90 it would be really small! Too small for you to sit down and enjoy! LOL

 

 

Carry on with 1;90 Sherry!

Doris: Thank-you for your generous comment, it is greatly appreciated! I have to tell you though, it is your work and artistry that is an inspiration to the rest of us!

Sherry and Steve.......

 

You are making fun of me  :P

 

@ Sherry,

 

I mean that I want such balcony at my house in human standarts !

I want to relax with a beer and the model in front of me ( when it will be sunny and nice warm weather ) .

 

@ Steve,

 

I ask for a contract from Sherry but she can only make this at scale 1:96....

I think that's a little to small.

 

But Sherry, it is still an amazing job what you are doing !

I thought I would just call in and say how fabulous your S Felipe is looking :wub: Even working to a smaller scale,your ornaments have a far greater crispness than the castings supplied in the kit(unless you spend hours and hours with a file :D ).Truly wonderful work Sherry B)

 

Kind Regards Nigel

Hi Sherry,

 

Can you tell us what paint brand and color you used for that wonderful blue, and how you applied it? I apologize if I missed this somewhere earlier in your log.

Sjors: Okay, we won't tease you anymore.  :)

 

Nigel: Thank-you! Working at this scale has been a challenge at times.

 

Mark: I used Winsor & Newton artist acrylics, but I mixed my own shade of blue and stored it in a jar in case I need more later. Unfortunately I don't usually record the formula, I just keep mixing until I see a shade I like.

Hi Sherry,

 

Can you please add another "WOW" to the list?  Your skills and attention to detail are truly amazing, and a genuine inspiration to all!

 

Wow!  (ok, add 2 more wows to the list but your San Felipe truly deserves it!!)

Matti: Thank-you....now, if I can only get my cannons to look like yours! :)

 

Bindy: Welcome to my build log, and Thank-you for more "wows". The next update will probably be a little on the dull side...gun port liners....92 of them!  :huh:

 

Patrick: Thank-you! You're not too late - the party's not over until my ship is finished! (which, when I look ahead at all that still has to be done, may be a very long time!) :D
