Hi Clare,

Outstanding job on painting the wooden planks and structures! Truly amazing. You achieved what many papermodelers want to achieve: that the model does not look like paper at all!! Bravo!

As to the soft thick cardboard parts: I like to apply some CA (cyanoacrylat) on those pesky wobbly card-parts to make them hard and sturdy (for instance in my Mayflower build for the Mayflower emblem). But be careful because the CA changes the color of the part, can cause a glossy look or even react with the paint...! Best is to try out first on some of the frame parts.

When I built my Cog, I used the plans from Maly Modelarz but instead of card I decided to go for balsa wood. You can see the results here.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
