Hello Doris, Just finished following your Sovereign from begining to now, and it is difficult typing with my jaw dropped so far it is stuck to the keyboard, your model is of the highest quality that I have ever seen of ship models in any museum including the London Science Museum, and Greenwich Museum. Thank you so much for sharing your model and methods of working. I think I will go back to just playing in the sand now.

I really don't know how to tell you that your work needs to be seen in a public place.

Sincerely Michael

Hello dear friends!
Thank you very much for your words! I am extremely honored to read your comments and compliments. I appreciate them a lot and I am glad to share the Sovereign´s progress with you all.
My health is better now, so I continue with work on Sovereign and soon I´ll make masts and rigging. All cannons are already finished, yesterday I completed a new and more realistic belfry. There are also several new crew members.
Enjoy the photos and wish you all a great time during the holidays
Sincerely,
Doris

Doris, your 1:96 paper modeling is better than many 1:48 wood or plastic models. Most satisfactory. -- Russ

Doris,

glad to see that your health has improved and that you continue to make staggering progress on your model.

As I have spent the last few weeks struggling with small bits in 1/35 scale I have nothing but admiration for the quality of your work , which in any scale would be brilliant but in 1/96 especially so.

Look forward to continuing up-dates

Doris, I am happy to hear that your health is better. I have felt a little down on myself lately and watching you work on this spectacular model is lifting my spirits. It is truly amazing!!

Stunning work as always!

Is that one seated figure using a toilet on the deck?

@Ray .. yeah. If you look that piece of 'deck' is a planked area around the bowsprit so it's actually overhanging the water ...

The British Navy euphemistically called them "seats of ease"...
