FINISHED PICS!! --page 6 -- Castle Neuschwanstein

doog: Glad to see a photo of your sweetheart holding the gift...the items in the previous pic's for were nice...for scale, but pale in comparison to the look of joy on her face...nicely done, and glad to hear she was thrilled!!!  Actually the castle is bigger than I thought...

I have a cool pic' of a King Tiger...it won the theme award at AMPS EAST, I think it was "Heavy Armor"...it was very well done, thought you might like to see it, I'll shoot you a PM!

Just an update, for those of you wondering.... Jenn was blown away by her castle; she loved it immensely! Here's something funny--she got me a "Neuschwanstein 3-D puzzle" to put together before I gave her the model! LOL! We were definitely on the same wavelength--as we always are!  Here's her with her present:

Still waiting for you to show us you pretty mugshot with the 3-d puzzle.   Don't be shy, the camera won't break.  And by the way we won't laugh (not)......  You lucky devil.  Two masterpieces in one photo op.

Well, how could she not love it? Your work simply amazes me! Now you need to think up something good for her birthday...

Thanks again, Boba Fett!

Thaks too sincerely, Sam, Huxy, and Buddho!

Birthday idea: Build the puzzle, weather it, wrap it up

Man, that is impressive.  Even though you mentioned the scale earlier on, seeing it in relation to the 1/35 fig and other items really gives perspective and highlights the fine work that you did.    And Professor Big Brains School Project accessories,....    gotta love it.  Don

 Ditto!!

 My wife was impressed as well. Always enjoy everyones pics. Thanks for sharing them and the tips. This forum truly rocks!!  Rock on!!

Doog!!!  

   That is some FANTASTIC work you are doing; so small, but without the comparison photos the *scale* is difficult to eyeball.     Excellent!!!  

   An "eye level" castle photo like the one near the end of your album, with a 'real sky' background and in-sunlight, would be visually deceptive to say the least!    I'm sorry I haven't found this thread until tonight, Doog, but certainly glad I did now and will go through it slowly the next time to see how you did it!     Beautiful work!  

   Thanks!!

doog,

I/We are always impressed with your work and detail. Again you have not disappointed and your girlfriend will love it.

Can you tell us what is next?

G-girl if you use the "Search" feature here, and type in a cartain member's name, you can find a lot of builds from any one person here. Or check out this thread....paste it into your address bar. A lot of my biuilds are there too.

Doog I am just....... Speechless. My wife loved the reason why you built this. Now she wants me to build something, unfortunaly it has to do with remodeling project on our house.

I model railroaded for almost 30 + yrs, It wasnt about the Trains really it was building the scenes, buildings, realistic mountains ect - just one big Dio to be honest,  and for my scale HOn3 (Narrow Gauge) the locomotives and rolling stock came from kits.  You have just been looking at the wrong stuff

Doog , if you were to move the larger figures back further from the castle gate, I think that they would fit in more with the perspective (as in a photo of a highway taken while standing in the middle of the road) view. {Artistic impression}

Then you can show the better figures with the unknown expectations to come.

Maybe....?????

I still think it's a nice job though.
