Pieter-Paul Derks Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 So good!, I'm really envious of your ability to stick with a project after so many hours. I get really fed up with a project once I get around 40 hours in and find it hard to finish after. 1 http://mefecit.nl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all comes down to having a plan, and following it without deviation, and without compromise. It can be exhausting at times, but in the end - you're better off for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alveprins Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 I've finally managed to finish sculpting and texturizing some of the surfaces.. oh, and put in a 0,03ct yellow diamond near the tip as well... A bit more proper picture. I really like the activity in the meteorite iron. Beautiful stuff. Have a good sunday everyone! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alveprins Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 Hi everyone, I put some final touches on side B of this blade yesterday, and thought I'd share the result: Perhaps some of you recognize the ship... I've now begun working on the sheath scales, as well as test-scales for the handle. I need to drill a big hole through the handle, and I am not risking 260 hours of work without a test, so I am preparing a replica of the handle with the exact same materials as the actual piece in order to see with 100% certainty how it will go. fingers crossed! Have a nice weekend folks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Gerber Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Firstly need to say this place is inspiring, from beginners to masters. That said, @Alveprins I find your work particularly inspiring. I have some personality flaws and location & budget limitations which means I never never hope to equal your art, but you make me want to try and lift my game. Painting a perfect Mona Lisa seems easier to me than what you do! (I can't paint to save my life!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painting a perfect Mona Lisa seems easier to me than what you do! (I can't paint to save my life!) That is very kind of you to say Sir! If you just improve one thing at a time - and always challenge yourself - eventually after a while when you look back at your previous work; you'll realize you've come along far! Just got to keep going at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Sexstone Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 “If you improve one thing at a time” those are words of wisdom…… I can’t say i recognize the ship……though I think it is a space farer…… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
