matiz Posted February 28 Author Share #301 Posted February 28 Hi, and thanks to all I generally use small chisels and gouges made from carbide shanks of broken cutters, or tailor's needles or hypodermic needles, I don't use motorized cutters, due to the smallness of the details, and I have a normal helmet with interchangeable lenses allanyed, DonSangria, Keith Black and 11 others 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbondy Posted February 28 Share #302 Posted February 28 Great, thanks. I have also found that at these small scales you have to manufacture your own carving tools. davec, cotrecerf, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote JD Current build: Schooner Mary Day (scratch) Previous builds: Model Shipways Pride of Baltimore 2, Amati HMS Endeavour, Midwest Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack, Bluejacket America, Midwest Sharpie Schooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate adam Posted March 27 Share #326 Posted March 27 That figurehead is looking really good. Interesting choice of olive wood. I'm a little bit surprised we don't see more use of that on the site, as I have seen some amazing carvings in olive wood.
