Thread: What are you working on?

MW76 great save on those scales!! Amazing

Shaun you sir are an artist and craftsman. Just astonishing Phrank said it best though

Tom, you sir have much more patience than I. They are looking very good my friend



Oh Mike, thanks I needed a song stuck in my head this late at night

Thanks, Guys! It's not too hard. A magnifier visor is a must for me.
I dig the water-based as it is light and faint. Mostly dabbing and wait a bit, wipe with the finger. Cannot get a brown to work. A good scrubbing with a toothbrush and Ajax makes the paint stick better. Should have done that...too late now!
As-done, looks old in a way. I will tape off this side, lightly mist with clear from afar so shine is at a minimum and do the other side another day.

I don't do mush without my dork lord visor either. There was a time when it would have made little difference. That time is not now. Readers are also a must.

Oh Yeah! Visor AND readers! That's how we roll!

The first side I made broke as I was taking it off the engravers block. Oops.
Apparently I need to make a second set with copper liners.
I would have liked to have gone sans collars but I was too chicken.
Here is the scrimshaw scales on my Guillermo Hope 14.

Craaazy!! Loooove it!!!

Noticed my wife passed out while putting one of my girls to bed, so naturally I rush to the basement. I'm so bad, I have other things I need to be working on but this one has me rigid. Basing this on a certain Texas brush that's in my head. Took pictures of it when it was here, but google images has that in a rain cloud, or snow cloud maybe and it's no where in my reach. So, to my head files I go.

Yeah! Looks like you could reach out and feel the basketweave texture!

Tom, this looks pretty sweet compared to the way it was before. I like!!

Yup. Love the way Scrimshaw looks too. Would be cool too, if you could carve that pattern Shaun. Like a 3D effect. I'm sure that would have a very high complication rating on it tho.

I suppose a before pic....



So Andrew!

I did without the Texas 2-band for half a year so you could measure, etc?? Best I can do!
