Doog!!!   Bow [bow]

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

   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!   Thumbs Up [tup]

   Thanks!!

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.  Bow [bow]

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:

LOL! Thanks, Sean! (And thanks for the Christmas card, friend! Big Smile [:D]) I'll tell Jenn you liked it! She was worried when she cut it--she donated the length to some cancer society.

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.

Agree with all the above.  Any gift is better when you know the giver spent so much time and effort on it!  And, like everyone else, I'm a bit amazed at the sheer SIZE of the thing!

Good work, good gift, and great smile.
