OK this is the final variation of the balustrades, not much difference from mk2, adjusted the scale to near perfect, refined detail at the top. pic 1 shows the finished final balustrade and pic 2 show the comparison between mk2 and final. The bad news lies in the fact that the extra work in detail in the final version is not noticeable to the naked eye (not mine anyway), the good news is that I can certainly live with that This is my limit Karl karl1113 wrote:jase wrote:Thats fantastic looks good. could you not make a cast from that and mass produce to save your sanity?

Cladded the pilasters on the centre window, slow going but no rush, you can also see the finish on the glass after 3 coats of Johnson's clear, I think it gives it a more authentic feel, it takes away that plastic look willz attached the following image(s):
