Danstream Posted November 28, 2021 Share #7 Posted November 28, 2021 Very nice pieces. Also young Leonardo da Vinci started with painting tarantulas and snakes that looked so real that people were scared off 😀. Waiting to see the hedgehog finished. Dan.

Papa Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted November 30, 2021 I think he is finished. I have to stare at him a bit. Wish i could say the same about the whale boats on my Morgan. I had to rip out some parts and re do them. Some seats and floor boards were messed up.

reklein Posted December 1, 2021 Share #12 Posted December 1, 2021 The rock painting is very clever, but the idea of covering the base for your model with a chart is OUTSTANDING!.
