My very tidy desk...

I've been working on the platform's wooden deck, using a combination of very thin wood veneer, balsa wood, varnish and paint.

Pericles model box update..

Today I have added a wooden floor, reduced the back of the raised platform, developed the swag shape of the suspended fabric towards the back, added curtain tracks with draped muslin underneath the platform and experimented with different wood for the decking.
