Wow! that is quite something Neil, well done! What is the show?

Giday Mate

Just informing you of an upcomming exhibition.

"Expressions In Wood"

Where - Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, 300 George Street, Windsor NSW

When - 6th & 7th October 2012

Entry Fee - $2.00 gold coin donation

Huge display of woodcraft from the members of the Hawkesbury Woodcraft Co-Operative including boxmaking, pyrography, scroll saw works, carving, woodturning and many many other aspects of wood related crafts.

An information flyer is in the process of being made I will post it up when ready.

Well that certainly give new meaning to the phrase 'Scale Model'.

Yes when someone called axe wants to show you his chopper, you don't expect it to be the VROOM VROOM kind.
Looking good.
Regards

G'Day Neil,
Wow and WOW what a magnificant project.
You have surely shown off your craftsmanship with this beauty.
If you don't mind, I'll put a post in the "model section" to your chopper as there are a heap of blokes & ladies there who will very much appreciate your skill, attention to detail & workmanship.
Cheers, crowie

PS - I've added the post in the model section with a link to here.....

G'Day Again Neil,
Just a suggestion; you might like to add a new thread in the "announcements section" about the Hawkesbury Woodcraft Co-Operative show in October....
Cheers, crowie

Thanks crowie
I have already placed it on Club Events page

The deception in this thread title was good for a peek.
What a reward!
I'm always in a real quandary about finish (or not) for my wood carvings.
If you have decided, what's to do next?

This is what scale modelling is all about. Fantastic work, 'the axe'.
Your attention to detail is nothing short of remarkable.

I can't get to the exhibition, but I wish I could.

Keep up the great work.

I've thought about making a bike, but all the ones I've seen in the past have been seriously lacking in detail. Not this one.

Quick update
Just put two clear coats on the bike

Dang! I can't see .docx

Axe, I have taken the liberty of putting the docx up as a pdf, so that all can view it. Beautiful work.

Good one Chris. I was just starting to copy each pic and post them in a reply when I saw your's. You saved me the trouble.

the axe, I must ask, how long did it take to accomplish this?

The latest pics look unreal. (Or is that real?)
I'm still having trouble getting my head around some of the detail work.

Edit: I also didn't realise that Word could convert to PDF. Handy. Thanks.
