Bindy Posted April 4, 2014 Share #753 Posted April 4, 2014 Sherry, your work is just, just, just beautiful. I really am lost for words. I think your crossed eyes is a small price to pay for such wonderful work, besides a good pair of sunglasses will hide them WackoWolf 1 Quote Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbuilder101 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share #755 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Popeye: I'd give you the 'recipe' but I have a bad habit of just mixing colours until I get the hue I like. I did mix a large enough batch though for any future use on the SF. Frank: Thank-you! I may have only done one other model before this, but I have more wood carving experience over the years - just not at this tiny scale! Edwin: Thank-you! "blue of a calm sea" - I like that, it is very appropriate! Mark: Thank-you! I am happy with these results, but have to confess, that there are several 'scrapped' sculptures in the garbage bin! I struggled with getting the left side to be a decent mirror image of the right. I snapped off arms, legs and dolphin tails as well! Couldn't even throw them in the scrap box, since the pieces looked more like dust! Michael: Thank-you! If I had the display space, I probably would have chosen a larger scale to make the "small detail work" not quite so small. Grant: Thank-you! These details are much more fun than gun port liners - ergo, I am practicing procrastination! Bindy: "I am really lost for words" - actually you did find a few nice ones to say! Thank-you! I'm off now to look for sunglasses! Patrick: Thank-you! As I've already said, I love to carve. I am planning to carve some larger items for the ship's base at some point - maybe some lions and a Spanish crest.

newbuilder101 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share #765 Posted April 12, 2014 The gun port liners are almost done, but to break up the monotony I started working on the decorative frames for the upper gun ports. The starboard side is finished and I'm almost finished the port side. captainbob, popeye the sailor, Anja and 30 others 33 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...
