POTW for February 28, 2010

[dansls1]

My POTW choice this week was pretty easy - I had been waiting for Michael to finish this stunning ship model tto put it on the front page for all to see - and then I had somebody submit it as a request too ;) The build thread is here (http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/ships-watercraft/2240-oslabya-build-digital-navy-1-250-scale-11.html). This model just has an amazing color in addition to the great detail work put into the build.

Beautiful museum quality work. A perfect example that a card model can hold it's own against any other medium used to build with. My hat off to you sir! Rick

I really wonder if there is another model of this ship anywhere in the world built to this standard. She lives again in spirit.

[Chaldane]

Stunning! You've done a beautiful job. Just amazing. Others here have said it and I whole-heartedly agree: a museum piece.
