Thanks for the praise, Nick. I’ll make a steampunk convert out of you yet.
You’re right about the detail, but I would substitute “attention to” with
“agonizing over”. Keep this a secret, but I put off finishing it for months
because I couldn’t decide where to put the boiler. Just ask Soren.

Contrary to Jeff, I like the balloon colors; I don’t think I’ve ever seen a
hot air balloon with a tasteful color scheme, much like bicycle shirts. Maybe
a patchwork design of cartoon bedsheets would work, but what you have looks
great.

Your “chibi” instincts are good: patchwork balloons with oversize stitches would
be incredibly cute. Even better, I don’t think it’s been done before, except by
Kevoh on a scale so small you can
hardly tell it’s patchwork. Any ideas on how to pull it off?
