Title: Nefertiti's Barge - Werner Otto
Post by: marko on February 19, 2015, 09:05:24 PM
Last of my birthday presents.  This is a flat I lusted after since seeing Greg Di Franco's lovely version - http://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=69 (http://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=69)

I was told by Berliner Zinnfiguren several years ago that the mold had been broken and it was being re-engraved.  This one is indeed slightly different than the above version with the streamers at the rear of the craft being engraved a little differently.

Again designed by Mike Taylor and produced by Werner Otto with mine purchased from Berliner Zinnfiguren.  Mike also wrote about it in the journal a bit with him documenting a number of attempts at getting this large flat engraved over the years.  The wait was worth it and it is a stunning craft.

Mike designed a third large craft which I also have been painting on and off for about a year as well as several smaller craft.
