Sceatha Posted June 6, 2020 Author #64 Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks guys! That was my first ever build log (though not my first build). It's been a very beautiful experience. Thank you all for your company, support and your enlightening remarks throughout the build. Some of you are veterans here and maybe do not remember your first forum posts, but for me sharing my work for the first time in this step by step way has been an awesome and really educating process.

Sceatha Posted June 8, 2020 Author #70 Posted June 8, 2020 Thank you all very much for the kind words! 2 hours ago, Mark Pearse said: The soapstone stands look beautiful. Would you be able to post a photo to show more detail? thanks Of course Mark. See the photos of the stands below. I loved working with the soapstone. It carves so easily and holds detail so well that I decided to use it much more going forward, beginning with the stands for this ship. After sanding the stone had gotten a bit dull, so I used on it the same tung oil I use on wood.

Sceatha Posted June 9, 2020 Author #72 Posted June 9, 2020 Thanks Druxey, I plan to use soapstone for bases more in the future, trying out more complicated shapes.
