Lateralus Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi, I wanted to share a few photo's from the orchid I made. The big leaves are forged out of square 30x6 mm stock. The flowers are made from 1mm plate steel, with the help of an acetylene torch. /Johan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrispy Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Good work Johan, I figured orchids would be difficult to make, especiallt the open flowers but you have gone and simplified it . It looks realistic. Even the closed buds and air roots leave no doubt as to the type of plant it emulates. Just fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
