    I dont see it in the result, keep up the poetic modelling, your audience wont let you backslide

     

    Thank you for your support. What used to take 2//3 attempts now takes 4,5 6.......:wall: :shrug:

     

    Wow I've never had a groupie before :elephant: :rofl2:

    Plans, magazine articles. and the excellent "From tree to Sea" by Ted Frost illustrated book of his building Formidable

    I can hear the waves and smell the seaweed.

    A nice thought

    Bitten off by a particularly evil seagull perchance?

    Could it be that you have an obsession with seagulls? :whistle::nodding:

    shamed me into

    Feel no shame . One thing I have learnt is that modelling is for enjoyment not for how others may perceive us 🤫

  4. It's been a while, poor health and the shakes. I've long had a problem with my left hand, half a cup of coffee takes about 10 seconds to re-appear on the floor.  My right hand is now starting to go the same way......:shrug:. Looking for solutions I've tried to justify  Zebras on a Cornish cliff 🙈. Tried to train them so that my hands meet in the middle :wall:

    Sulked, thrown my toys out of the pram etc etc.

    Finally decided I'd just do the best I can and get on with it, accepting the work isn't to the standard I would like :shrug:

     

    Got my  Sea Thrift thanks to @beefy66

    P1120998

     

    Added thole pins and forward thwart plus weathering

    P1130003

     

    P1130002

     

    Figures........:hmmm:cant mask them.

    Happy with clothes, flesh tones still to do. I think I'll try oils

    P1130009

     

    P1130007

     

    P1130006

     

    Thought perhaps a telescope  and tripod would add to the scene

    P1120999

     

    P1130001

     

    Thanks for stopping by

     

    Stay safe
