Absolutely fantastic! It is almost too much to take in such is the sheer quantity and quality of the work you have displayed for our delectation.
I feel so humbled by your skill and dedication - you are simply an inspiration .......... and may I say it's also really good to be able to put a face to the name - WELL DONE YOU!

[W.P. Rayner]

This is just breathtaking work... it's been a real pleasure and privilege to watch this project come to completion here on the forum and I for one, hope to have the opportunity to see more of what you come up with next.

Amazing!  Incredible!  Awe-inspiring!  Any little portion of this ship would make a fine model, but the complete ship with all the superb detail is truly superb.  Outstanding attention to every little detail ... and all of those fine little figures to bring life to the ship.  It's too much to absorb all at once ... will have to return and review the photos a little at a time to "savor" all the fine little touches.  It's almost like walking through a sculpture garden without taking the time to sit down.  Can't believe all the little individual sculptures on the model.  Wow.  -- Dallas

I am simply speechless!  This is one of the most inspiring projects I've seen!  What a multi-talented young lady you are.  Please keep us informed about your progress and especially your next project!  I can hardly wait!

[Ray Dunakin]

What marvelous work! The details and figures are fantastic! (The seagull on the flagpole is a nice touch.) And it's nice to have a face to go with the name.

Oh My God!!!!  That is most amazing ship I've ever seen.  Your skills are just unbelievable.   The details, figures, etc.  just leave one speechless.

Can only hope you come back with another project.  And hope your health keeps improving.

Suburb - Fantastic - Beautiful -True Art -Inspiring - Talent beyond words and dedication Plus a WOW with a big W -Thanks for sharing this super model
with us - If you have a bit of spare time I believe St Paul's Cathedral London needs a bit of attention to the paint work in the Dome !
Thanks again for the inspiration.

Hello Doris, I hope your health continues to improve. I just spent the last three hours going through your build of the Sovereign from start to finish.

In every age there are artists who stand out as the quintessential representative of their class. Your work deserves to be among those artists. Every now an again I feel good about something I have made, you must feel ecstatic about what you have accomplished with this beautiful model. Your dedicated attention to detail with everyday materials is remarkable. I have learned so much from looking at how you work with them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us your way of working. I also look forward to following your next project. I too appreciate seeing the person behind such artistic talent.
