Karaka "Santa Maria" built around the egg shell ,-))


Recommended Posts

John Lennon said, that we are the eggman. I thing, John was thinking about man like me. I build the model of Columbus karaka Santa Maria. The basic element was eggshell. English man like eggs, and I hope You join this build. Painting and making stuff using eggshell is a Easter habits. But making models using eggshell is special habits, which was born I polish modelers forum nPWM.

There is a short report from building. I ‘m sure, that photos tell more than words ( writing in English make me angry, because I ‘m “bloody foreigner” ,-))

That is a very unusual technique I've never seen before and would never have thought of myself. It looks really great finished, your wood effect painting, rigging etc is excellent. Well done!

That has got to be one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. That is bloody brilliant! It's also quite tiny which makes it even more speggtacular.

You should mount the base in an ostrich -egg :P

Original is an understatement! I really love this, though I think I fear for your sanity :winkgrin: At first I thought you'd done all the work in wood! So pleased to see hand done rigging, it makes the model..that and the ace finish.

At first I thought it was a yolk but clearly not.

Amazing build at that scale (unless it is really an ostrich egg?)
