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.🙂

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

 

Robert

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.
