4HE FIRST TOPIC TO DISCUSS IS THE MODEL SCALE 4HIS IS AN IMPORTANT PART BECAUSE SIZE
MATTERS IN MANY WAYS 4HE COST OF MATERIALS AND DISPLAY LOCATION ARE IMPORTANT BOUNDAR
IES THAT CAN AFFECT COST AND SPACE IN A HOME OR OFFICE

#ONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS USED ARE OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 4HE DISPLAY CASE
AND LOCATION IN A HOME NEED CAREFUL CONSIDERATION FOR QUALITY STYLE LIGHTING AND A
DISPLAY BASE IF NEEDED

7ITH THIS MODEL AN IMPORTANT TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WAS ABOUT THE BRONZE HARDWARE 7E

BRONZE WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF CONTEXT WITH THE BRONZE ON THE REAL VESSEL WHICH HAS BEEN
LEFT TO WEATHER A GREEN BRONZE PATINA UNPOLISHED AND SUBTLE /UR SOLUTION WAS TO BUILD ALL
THE METALWORK USING GREEN GOLD AND GIVING THE PARTS A DELICATE SANDBLASTED FINISH WHICH
MUTED THE TONE DOWN TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL WHILE GIVING THE MODEL THE VALUE AND
