newbuilder101 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share #663 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I have managed to put all those spindle/balusters/balustindles to good use! 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.

casper1961 Posted February 16, 2014 Share #677 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) 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!

Sjors Posted February 16, 2014 Share #679 Posted February 16, 2014 Sherry and Steve....... You are making fun of me @ 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.

NMBROOK Posted February 16, 2014 Share #680 Posted February 16, 2014 I thought I would just call in and say how fabulous your S Felipe is looking 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 ).Truly wonderful work Sherry Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSoane Posted February 16, 2014 Share #681 Posted February 16, 2014 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. Mark Quote Current build: HMS Bellona 74, ca. 1760, 1:64 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/196-hms-bellona-by-sjsoane-scale-164-1760-as-designed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbuilder101 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share #682 Posted February 17, 2014 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. augie and Sjors 2 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...
