Very nice job!

I've seen those they look cool but being so thin I wonder how durable they really are. Sorry no plans but I'm interested to see what you come up with.

That's awesome! Never seen one with a mouse trap

That's impressive. I bet it'll take a while.

Thanks, IF I did another one there are some things I would do different but all in all I'm happy with it. Unfortunately pictures never seem To do it justice though! I posted it on my Facebook and some asked me how much....I told em $600 + shipping thinking they'd say no way, he said cool and asked when I'd be making another. Maybe I'll have to make another for money. I hope so that would go along way to upgrade some stuff in the shop. Mike

Hi Ben welcome to the site. For portraits I use a combination of coyote and photoshop. It's definitely an art form and takes a lot of practice. There are several Tutorials on the web and this site. Good luck Mike

That's always a great feeling! Congrats

I don't do craft shows, I've tried and while I did sell some stuff it wasn't enough to justify sitting there all weekend. I sell things now by word of mouth. It's not much but it's enough to fund my hobby. Buying blades, glue, etc.

Those look awesome great job

well here it is finished....I still have to make some more missles but there is one on it. it's 3 foot long, rotor diamter is 32 inches! the rotors turn, and are removable for transport. I also made the 30 mm chain gun under the nose moveable

Great dog portrait, what did you quote her? I've sold similar size and difficulty portraits for $75

Very cool eagle.

It is 3 foot long

I havnt' been on this site in a while, and my scrollsawing has slowed way down too I'm currently going back to school, getting my masters so i havn't had as much time to be in the wood shop. However for the last several month, I've been working on an original piece. I used to be in the military, and was an Apache helicopter pilot. I've always wanted a large scale model of the helicopter but from what I can tell, no one makes one. After doing the train from finescrollsaw.com, I decided to try my hand at making my own large scale helicopter. with limited time I do very little at a time. LIke I said I've been working on this for several months now and it will probably be at least several more before it's complete. however I've got some pretty good progress thus far and wanted to share. I am using a 1/72 scale plastic model of the helicopter and a dial caliper to measure and recreate in teh computer the patterns. I'm using inkscape.

I'd suggest you get a few of both types and give em a try. http://www.mikesworkshop.com/blades.htm
