Le Saint Philippe 1693 after Jean-Claude Lemineur (Ancre) in scale 1:48

I'm very disappointed. There is one nail near the middle left of the top picture (I think), close to one of the gunports but slightly higher, if you see what I mean, and it is a little bit off angle. I'm guessing it is three or four arc-minutes off.

Supernatural job Paul.

You are right, Richard. You mean this one that already caught my eye:

But I rather think Paul did that deliberately. We're not falling asleep and find everything be nice and neat …….

I hadn't noticed that. It was different one in this area ...............

You guys don't understand. It is perfectly in balance with this one:

In the oriental aesthetic it is considered an affront to the gods, as the only perfect beings, to produce a work without an imperfection. Better watch out, Paul. There’s a lightning bolt out there with your name on it…

A number of years ago, I was commissioned to turn some porch spindles for an historic home (now a bed and breakfast) to replace some that had rotted away. The home was built in the 1700's by Dutch carpenters, and as the owners were giving me a tour, I noticed one spindle in the beautiful bannister of the main staircase that was upside down. I was told that it had been intentional and was the carpenter's way of demonstrating his imperfection in the eyes of God.

Looks great Paul, finally realistic nailing and this bunch of guys ruin your day which started so peacefull with fresh snow.

Looks like our weekends were the same.


Succes with finding the holes that are 1/1000th of a mm off.
