OMG I'm in love with your creations!  I love the balloon too!  NIce gold accents on various tidbits as well!
Btw, I've been working on my one custom ship for 4 yrs, so don't feel bad about taking "long," lol.  And it's normal for a creative type to have several projects going on at once, even some that seem to never be finished.  Bravo, Ms. Emma, bravo!
