Wow, that's an amazing skill you have, and what a prestigious task!
In order to be asked to produce a replica of an item of extreme historical significance, in faithful detail, using largely period correct methods to do so, I presume when you take on jobs such as this you are paid pretty handsomely too?

Thanks.  Well, erm, this project is certainly bringing in more money than I've earned for a while but is pretty much a one off. It might lead on to more of this kind of thing, it might not. Because of the delays in getting this far (not down to me) I have essentially been out of pocket for my time until now since I only got one interim payment that covered some capital costs. |

I couldn't even begin to comprehend the level of skills and patience involved in producing this!
And how much bottle you must have for taking apart the real thing.I know I couldn't even imagine doing!

Would HW consider bringing back 'God' status, then conferring it upon the worthy shoulders of Mr. S. Kennedy esq.....?
That is truly mind-blowing.

Crikey. Missed this one! Anyone else thinking that they don't really 'earn' their money?! Serious skills - great to see that level of craftmanship still very much alive.

Fantastic work fella, especially as it had to have a likeness to the original which I think you pulled of perfectly. If you don't mind, how much did you get paid for this?, looks like a lot of hard work went into it. Also, have you thought about making more and selling them?, I'm sure some museums and collectors would be interested. |
