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!

 

Derek

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.🙂

Hi Glenn

 

i managed to pick up a Sphinx from E bay.  I couldn’t resist it at the price.  Could I ask what the difference is between V1 and V2?

 

kind regards

I was not very happy with the how the stern/quarter galleries (v1) were looking. This was due to a build error on my part and I could not see a way to correct. Therefore I decided to buy a 2nd kit and start again (v2) and I was pleased with the end result.

So V2 is the same kit.  Wow.  That’s dedication to our art.   I’m on with the Russian Brig mercury designed by Chris.  I’m enjoying it so far but I couldn’t get on with the gun port patterns.
