Bravo Ray. This is just simply stunning. If one hadn't been following the thread it would be difficult to distinguish that it is all paper.
Thanks for sharing.

"Wow!" just doesn't seem to cover it. Stunning on all levels -- great concept, innovative techniques, razor-sharp craftsmanship, all adding up to a build that stands at the acme of the hobby.

Fantastic job! And the pictures are great as well. You're a true artist!

Erik

You really did it, Ray - a full cut-away paper model. I believe this is very much of a "first" (could be wrong, any more examples would be good to know about!), and you deserve a load of congratulations for taking paper modeling a good step forwards!

Well done, indeed! - Leif

This is an outstanding achievement, Ray.

The finished model is magnificent, and it has been a great pleasure to watch over your shoulder as you carried out this wonderful project.

Congratulations on the successful completion of this worthy project and on the selection of your miniature masterpiece as the Picture of the Week.

I hope I can see the model next weekend.
