Karl lovely, you work at incredible speed, and still maintain beautiful quality. I like you used a cross section, having all the details and still visible after installing all the decks. How did you make the 'nails'  on the gratings?

Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Magnificent work, Karl.  Bravo!

 

Apart from the extraordinary modeling work, I especially like the color you have achieved with the wood finish.

Karl,

 

Every possible word has already been written about this beautiful build, consequently your work has a hugely deserved large following.

 

Love the new photos especially the one aimed up towards the grating above. A pleasure to follow along and drool.

Karl,

I am just now discovering your amazing build for the first time. All I can say is, each time I think maybe I have seen it all....each time I think I have seen the absolute ultimate in perfection....when I say to myself "It just don't get better than this".....I then discover an artist so amazing I can hardly believe what I am seeing.

I can't begin to describe how crazy good your work is....no words for it.

Thank you for sharing your extreme talent with us mere mortals.

Dave

OK, This is just insane! Somebody help me out here. Please send me a PM if you know of a more skilled craftsman than Karl, because I would really like to see it for myself. The cannon is simply mind blowing.

A second day of studying Karl's craftsmanship....I remain speechless....there simply are no words that would serve justice to what my eyes are telling me. This work could only be properly described by a great poet.

Thank you Karl

 

For Karl......

 

Ein zweiter Tag des Studiums Karl's Handwerkskunst .... Ich bin immer noch sprachlos ... es gibt einfach keine Worte, w\'fcrde dazu dienen, was meine Augen mir sagen. Diese Arbeit kann man nur richtig beschrieben durch ein gro\'dfer Dichter.\

Vielen Dank Karl
