Bright Eyed Athene by Jsk - 60mm


Recommended Posts

Taking a short breather between ships. She's been gracing my work desk for at least a year. Waiting patiently while I divert myself with ship models. But then, I suppose it's not wise to ignore a goddess for long. So...

She's not quite finished yet. Probably this weekend.

I honestly do not remember. I think it was at least five years ago and I'm pretty sure it was an Etsy seller but I don't recall who.

Yeah, Etsy's kind of an odd space. I love the fact that little hobby level makers have a global market. I hate the fact that it is true caveat emptor. Especially in regards to intellectual property law. Human nature, I suppose.

 

Anyhow... she's done:
