Hello,


Thank you dufour and Kevind.


In the beginning, many people asked to buy copies of my works but when I give an announcement about this nobody interested, may be usual :)


So I cancel my idea of selling copies at the moment.


Personally I do not need any money from my modeling abilites, I have other profession and earning my life in some other way.


For me the important thing is; meeting and having constructive comments from experienced modelers and trying to improve my modeling skills bit more and having nice times with some people from other cultures.


Now, I still belive I have to improve many points on my works and I will not sell anything until I belive those are solved, may need long time for that :D


Thanks for your interest.

ello Serhan,

I do appreciate your work, and indeed some improvements are needed , on the subjects, drawing also. I a not engraver, nor Creator and the best would be to sit down with some of the western flats engravers (French, Germans, Russian).

One suggestion is to have a travel next year in August 2017 to the small city of Kulmbach for three days.  Near Munich in Bavaria.
It is a small wtown, but the "MECCA of the FLATS " worldwide, with an incredble amount of flats exposed and sold, meeting point of the planet on this !! and surely be able to meet the best engravors of the western world in three days.
We all go for buying, talking, painting competition, ...  and meet these famous guys.   

We can discuss while I am in Turkey too with my wife (leaving this Friday) by emails ...

Michel

That looks very nice in the frame Serhan.

I use this CA, http://www.gluelines.co.uk/product/vitalbond-super-glue-thick-50g-bottle-
It is nice and thick and very easy to use with no mess and little risk of getting it anywhere it shouldn't. I'm not sure if you can get it in Turkey though.  :-\

There's less chance of the thicker stuff being absorbed into the velvet as quick too.
