I did some basic tidying up of structures and finished making the central shaft and supports invisible. Its really changed how things look. I didn't think that the top and bottom levels had enough of a connection before and it made it look rather silly to me. Now it has some solidity for sure.
I said the other day I had a bunch of ideas for new builds. Well I've added another to that list. I might have a go at building a candelabra base sometime. I would have a better time of it building a base with this style specifically in mind. Adding it afterwards has worked but it could be integrated further that it has been.
It has turned out to be a rather bizarre looking base as a whole lol. I've finished up a bit earlier tonight so I'm getting the write up done now instead of in the morning like I have been. These scrolls have definitely taken more time than I expected them to take. They have been one of the most time consuming pieces of the base. I don't think I'll be doing any more to the main structure although I must admit I'm tempted to do some more to the very base of the scroll work as it looks a lil small compared to whats above it. I might have to get a sounding board on this one ;)
No matter how much I build I still like to get feedback on bits. I was glad to have a few good sounding boards on the server I was on. 360 and Haidies were the best as they told me if they didn't like something and why which is what I needed so I could improve things.
Not had much interest in this blog yet but to be honest I'm not particularly worried. Its given me something new to do and a great way to track my building. With all the building I do, I see it all constantly so I don't see any big progressions just one big ongoing project. I have to admit I'm rather surprised as to how much I've gotten done on this project so far. But I'm already looking forward to getting this one finished so I can start on another build. With all the ideas I have on the go at the moment I have no idea which one will get made first. I need to do a water pen yet but that shouldn't take very long at all with the method I have in mind. I will recreate a water pen that I used recently online so there won't be much planning for that. Other than where I end up building it that is.
