fantastic work!!

 

ah, scale hardware.... so that means they are all actually threaded micro screws and bolts - unbelievable! I have bought some of their stuff and used it, but I should really look into using their smaller items so I can actually 'assemble' rather than glue together some of my parts which need structural strength..

Just slightly off topic, but:

 

Who'd be interested in trying to convince Peter, ChuckW, Wolf Buddee (and perhaps one or two other "masters" here on LSP - open to suggestions) to produce a book, website, blog, or dedicated forum here on LSP to teach the rest of us "mere mortals" their individual talents in this hobby?

 

True, the Works In Progress forum provides a stage for their accomplishments, but a separate, dedicated vehicle for their individual "How To" lessons would be invaluable.

 

I, for one, believe we here on LSP are privileged in having some of the finest modellers found anywhere, and I firmly believe these talented individuals could be persuaded to devote some of their valuable time to helping develop the skills of the rest of us "wanna be's", particularly if we could provide them with the editorial, organizational and publishing assistance, factors that take such a great deal of time, and which would become even more time consuming with a dedicated effort to create a truly meaningful vehicle. I know that the members here represent a wide range of disciplines in the graphic arts, communications and publishing fields, to say nothing about the IT profession - and I'd bet that at least some of us would be only too willing to provide the benefit of our experience in a project of this nature. 

 

This should, perhaps be located elsewhere on the website, but I'll leave that to the moderators should they find it even worthy of consideration.

Norm, I feel I know where you are coming from. One other forum I an on occasionally, has a separate section called "masters". and does a bit what your talking about. It definitely sounds cool......Harv

Thanks Harv. I'm really keen on pursuing this idea, however:

 

The Mods will undoubtedly feel this topic does not belong here on Peter's thread (or perhaps not anywhere on this site - we'll see). As a consequence, I'll leave further discussions on this idea 'til they have indicated their decision.

 

Feel free to contact me off board if you'd like.

 

Norm.

You never cease to amaze, Peter.

 

I sometimes feel that when you see masterpieces like yours in the making it's a shame to paint them. Leaving them 'naked' allows observers to see the intricate details and your handicraft even better... I know it wouldn't be historically accurate but it looks too pretty right now as it is!
