The craftsmanship is as usual the best ever. I particularly enjoy this time your lighting, and the scene from your living room that looks like a ship is on fire somewhere in the distance. Very evocative! Mark Hello Mark, exactly, it's also my target to add something special to my models and make them more impressive. I am pleased, you like it.

Fast cars are also my favourite hobby. My 27 years old Nissan Primera (I love this car and have renovated it completely): Previous look of the engine bay: Current look: More pics: http://www.mazdaclub.cz/vozidlo/mazda-ne-mazda-9004 Life has taught me a lot, I grew up without my father and there was no guy in the family. So I had to make plenty of "male" work. Now it is useful to have such abilities.....😃 19 hours ago, popeye the sailor said: such beautiful work Doris.........always enjoy catching up with your log I hope you had a very good Christmas and happy modeling in 2019!

JOUFF Posted December 29, 2018 #580 Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Hello Doris, I discover your subject and I admire ! If you allow me, I have one or two questions about your sculpture technique. Page 20 on the Czech forum, you are writing this : "The modeling of the decoration began by making the first of many caryatids to decorate the posts between the rear galleries and the mirror windows, and the statue is a lot of black, so I'll have to shift the macro lens to focus it in. It's done with details in the face and various elements , which are visible on the elements of the Riksäpplet decoration from which I draw these figures. ... / ... On the exam, I have cured the first three caryatids after molding in the oven and placed them on the columns of the left gallery - it is only temporary, the karyatides will be 100% matched to the height and tilt of the posts. So far they have no patina. The camera does not completely render all the details thanks to the glare, but the husband, when he was looking at it, just remarked that I was a maniac .....: D " I would like to learn more about how you are modeling : what software, accuracy, informations ... Also, for the realization you are talking about "molding in the oven" : can you detail ? Did you make a subject about the process as a whole : from the starting point of a subject to achieve until the final result ? But maybe you're explaining somewhere : language barrier will not help me ... Thank you in advance for your answer and congratulations on your great work!
