WOW! These new items are great! All the Easter items are really cute, and will
surely be popular.

The guitar really looks great. The flame pattern turned out terrific.

The full size sax really blows me away! Was it built on speculation, or did you
get a commission, and build two at the same time? Some close-up photos would be
great so we can see some of the building techniques used. I'm sure it was
maddening, and fun, at the same time!

Hey John,

Thanks for the comments! I had fun making the Easter items. I think I will be
doing holiday themed models on my ebay store from here on out. I was going to do
a bunch for Christmas but got so busy I was only able to get a Nutcracker done.
But keep checking for 4th of July, Halloween, and others. I will keep posting to
lugnet.auction so everybody can check them out.

I had a good time with the guitar. Turned out pretty well, I thinks. I was able
to get most of the details pretty good.

The Saxophone almost killed me. I went to the local music store to take some
pics (and, yeah both the guitar and sax were commisions) and was blown away by
how complicated a saxophone really is. I had never seen one up close, so it was
a bit a of shock to see what I was going to have to try and recreate. I got the
basic shape built relativly quickly, but all the levers and such took a bit
longer. A LOT longer. But overall, I was really pleased with it. Definitely one
of the most complicated models I have done.

You can see better pics of the guitar and Saxophone on my brickshelf folder:

Guitar is up, I just uploaded the sax, so it might not be available right away.

Thanks!

Bill
