Paper models of sailing ships

[DORIS]

Thank you all very much. It is for me really a great honor, but there is still a lot of things I have to improve at my work and still learn new techniques. I am not perfect and know, there are much better modellers than me.
I build models about 28 years, in recent years I have had an oportunity to cooperate with other modellers and this help me a lot to improve. But what I have seen here so far, it´s really astonishing and very impressive.  I owe respect and humility before what you are able to create.
In addition, it was a very nice surprise for me to read Czech sentences and words here. Thank you a lot. In my replies I´ll try to write in English, I need to learn more this beautiful language.
Here is something more from my "paper" work:

Here I am anguishing over a three inch wide clapboard wall segment and she builds the Sovereign of the Seas! Why do I even bother to wake up in the morning (or afternoon)? -- Russ

WOW!!! Truly amazing work, Doris! I've seen models in museums that were not as fine as these!

Doris, your work is fantastic. the techniques you are using transcend modeling in paper. If you can, please share some step by step modeling on any future projects.

[DORIS]

Thank you very much for the feedback and commendations. It's a great honor for me and motivation for next projects.
Your astonishing work and models are for me also very impressive and admirable. It´s one of the best I've ever seen in my life.
Otherwise, I started a new thread "Sovereign of the Seas" in the section of ship-models where I describe in detail the whole process, including extensive photographic documentation.
