Magnificent, George! You can be justly proud of this model and the research - and skill - that went into producing it.

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.

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.IMG-6639.thumb.JPG.f45795f0bebdfcd9a75195139f284444.JPG

Just found your build log George and it has made for a fine half hour reading  your log and studying the photos.   Your choice of vessel is definitely a wonderful change.  WELL DONE.
