Tedious indeed but it will be worth the effort in the end, I admire your commitment.

We all have our little madnesses, don't we guys...

 

[NigelR]

Looks like hard work but probably easier than using hundreds of tiny little squares of plasticard......

 

[combatartist]

Supreme patience boss!

 

[Oda]

Gasping for air.......my brushes to the bin and I'm off for vacation.No need for me to keep modelling anymore,really.Standing ovation all the way through!!!!!

I've always liked Alma-Tadema's work, his painting of anything marble is masterful. Do you have a completion date in mind? Ray Stout

We all have our little madnesses, don't we guys...

That’s what hobbies are for, right, to shamelessly indulge in weaknesses like perfectionism without minding schedule or whatever other commitments to anyone….very unlike the jobs we are paid for!

Although I do like to finish stuff at some point…!

No firm commitment, but I hope to finish this before the summer.

You inspire me for sure!

 

[Ferris]

And again I underestimated the task ahead…

This is about 3 to 4 hours in:

The time is in getting the right paint dilution to get about 10 tiles per brush rinse and in the complexity of the pattern. It feels like painting a mix of tartan and SS camouflage! Regular, but not perfectly.

Here’s another in progress shot that shows how I use masking tape to fix the main lines of the pattern. Once that is done, the rest is mindlessly doing the tiles.

Seems I have quite a few hours ahead of me…

Will keep you posted!

Adrian.......out of words mate,out of words.This goes beyond and above modelling.This is brush meditation,I wouldn't be surprised to find out you are chanting mantras while doing this.Huge fan of your work mate.

Oda.

 

[Malkie]

[Briggsy]

Heck of a task but it really will be worth it in the end, it already looks phenomenal.

Simon

 

[Merryweather]

Totally awe inspiring!

 

[NigelR]

You will be well into "zen" mode with this one! But it is looking really good so far.....

 

[BRAN]

Wow... I admire your work.
