I have on occasion been called a fishing Machine.. and Brown bears are certainly fishing machines, and perhaps some of you are fishing machines....

round 4 of my Steampunk series is a Brown Bear Fishing machine.

I had some problems that I attribute to not watching my carve depth on a V carve tool path that I told to carve on existing model. The Vcarve was to deep and I broke out some letters. So will cut that out and redo that segment …

than some sanding, sealing and painting. Cant wait to paint this one.

Tw versions of the model are shown as they appear in Aspire... as I was tweaking the end result.. changed some component depths, add a wave in the flag.. changed the words block to the top. just composition play time.

Thanks for letting me share the fun.

Really neat Scott. I’m loving the small details , very sharp .
Where the letters are damaged , I was wondering if a guy filled that hole with coloured epoxy , and then cut the letters in the epoxy ?
Just a thought

Nice work Scott. As a matter of fact I'm going ice fishing tomorrow with my son in law. It's supposed to be sunny and +4 C so it should be a great day.

Very nice, Scott. I see you've added your signature 'outside the frame' with the fish. I was missing that feature on your other steampunk projects.

What wood are you carving? Fantastic work, Scott.

Fun! Would love to have had this for my late brother, who was a fishing machine indeed.

Fantastic outcome Scott . Great choice of colours . Looks like a lot of detailed work on this puppy.
I also like how you added the trees in the background

 

[DaninVan]

Wow! The colours just make that image pop.
Love it!

I’d say blue goes with steampunk just fine. Another beautiful piece.

I keep gravitating back to your recent threads . As Dan mentioned, the colours certainly make it pop .
I’d say you nailed it . Now if I could just fly up there and get a lesson or two.
Btw , How much are lessons :grin:
