Hey Hermann,

What are you building there? A cathedral? I'm only asking because this model is absolutely adorable. I'm speechless. Thank you for this ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... effect! Beautiful model...

 

[Herman]

Yup. You've got a gift...

That is an incredible bit of carving in such a small area.

Good morning Herman. What Paul said. Definitely something to marvel at. Cheers Grant

Thank you very much for all your kind words. Much appreciated and motivating.

I know how difficult it is to make a small face like that. A little taken away to much wood and it is ruined. Impressive.

Thank you Stephan. When I started I first visited your build log, it was the first that came up looking for "lionhead".
Your remark "a little taken away... " is spot on. Even my usual modus operandi using steel wool is too much and will ruin details on this scale. I now use an old toothbrush to clean up afterwards.

Great small carving Herman, this promisses a lot for the rest of the carvings on your model.

Thanks Maarten. I am now working on the 6 statues adorning the vertical struts on the foredeck. Those are only 4,5 mm wide, so another challenge.

Thank you Gunther for this generous comment. A cathedral?.. then I would have taken some further artistic freedom and have redesigned my simple scuppers into gargouilles,
