druxey Posted June 30, 2013 Share #241 Posted June 30, 2013 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?

mtaylor Posted June 30, 2013 Share #242 Posted June 30, 2013 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....

rwiederrich Posted September 14, 2013 Share #256 Posted September 14, 2013 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.
