elcoincoin Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Took some time to be done, but it was more about alot of small operations, than endless hours of pneumatic pen. All in all, the more time spent was with the dremel polishing the matrix. Before : Only operation before the picture was an emergency glueing on the field. Some time it s better to do this on the field, sometimes you better packed the different part of the puzzle home, clean them and glue them home. This time it was on the field. Then a bit of small chisel and a bit of pneumatic pen. Then a lot of dremel that will give the grey aspect to the matrix Then a bit of scalpel to remove a bit of matrix from the caudal spine. Then a bit of cutter to save one of the eodal' eyes from the counterpart. Then a bit of glue to set the said eye. And here we are : 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raggedy Man Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Interesting how they look "stretched" I always thought this was from poor photography. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcoincoin Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 They ARE strechted because the deformations the matrix endured. The double behind gives a good idea : Same block, same specie, but one is elongated and one compressed because they are perpendicular. And to add to the fun, they have not even thesame color ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
