Slow moving work, ship WIP

[squbrigg]

Hi folks, sorry about not being able to get much done lately, but finally sat down yesterday and began to do some work on the detail for the Marco Polo model. Had to think and plan a lot for this piece, ships wheel, my first attempt failed, tried making it piece by piece. Parts were just too small. So tried something different....soaked and bent the rim piece for the ships wheel over the soldering iron/woodburner and turned the spokes. Still have some shaping on the spokes to do, but the basic shape is a success. Just have to mount it now.

The pencil there for scale and Hanford the shipwright, to do the heavy work. Smile

Bob,

Great work as usually. You are far a patience man.Of course, Like viperstooth said and I will change his saying, I am nuts! So wouldn't try that small stuff.
AGAIN sir, My hat is off to you.
