Chuck Posted 7 hours ago Author #362 Posted 7 hours ago I really do love these 3D printed blocks... Ok here is my presentation....keep in mind that I have an soft spot for Henry Culver. He rigged so many of the Rogers collection models. He kept it simple while making sure the rigging was not heavy and hung just right. That is my inspiration for stropping like this. See some examples of his work...check out those Seawatch books. You wont be disappointed. It certainly isnt the kitchen sink approach but it works for me. The presentation...

westwood Posted 6 hours ago #363 Posted 6 hours ago Wow, if it wasn't written that it was 3D printed, I think it really is a pear with a little patina.

Thank You so much...You would not believe how long it took and how much money I spent testing to get that color and finish. Slightly different with each block and within each block... but consistent. With just a hint of different shading and transparency in each block. When they are too uniform and flat they look fake like most others I see on the market. But a real wood finish isnt like that. I am quite happy with them.
