Oh, my! Now that is ornamental 'ironwork'. Seems almost a pity to blacken it.... Beautifully done. As a matter of interest, what kind of soldering mat are you using there?

Your metalwork makes one do a double-take.  With your photography and eye for detail, it could be the real thing.    Druxey beat me to the question about he soldering mat....

ModelExpo has small soldering mats like that. It was on my list of to-gets but so far I haven't. It looks smaller tho.. 3" x 3" x 1" for $4.79

 

Oh, and btw, stunningly beautiful metalwork. Always first rate :)

GOOD NIGHT NURSE!    This is without a doubt the best representation of skillfully executed model ship building I have ever seen.  Not just the quality, but the attention to detail and finish.  Superb! man..SUPERB!

 

I wasn't sure I was looking at a model or the real thing...but hyper detailed and finished beyond comprehension.

 

I'm fully impressed.

 

I will be watching this build with delight.
