Your Sphinx looks stunning. I hope I’ll have the skill and patience to build her one day.

Well done Glenn - great model and a great log. I suspect you will have finished your next build (Indefatigable?) before I get round to starting Sphinx!

Thanks Derek. I learnt a lot from your build logs. I think Indy will be a very long 2+year build project.

Unbelievably beautiful. I wish I had the talents and patience, (and lack of ADHDLMNOP), to attempt a model of this caliper.

 

Many thanks. I am not sure I have the talent as I made so many mistakes during this build. I have certainly learnt to have patience however.🙂
