HMS VICTORY 1798, 1:96, Shipyard

Hello everybody!
Because my thread was lost, so I decided make it again and share my hobby with You.
Let me introduce myself, I ´m a woman from the Czech Republic and one of my best hobbies is paper modelling. I started to build first paper models when I was only six, but still like it and I try to learn more and improve.
My newest paper model presents famous sailing-ship HMS Victory. I shape her according to historical appearance from cca 1798, but some parts I had to create by my own. There are many differences compared present Vic´s look, but I try to make a unique model with gilded decoration and original wooden look. Process started in September 2009, now I make masts and ropes. Victory is my dreamed ship.
Excuse, please, my English, I´m learning this language and want to improve.

Thank You very much, friends, I´m very honored You like my work. I´ll continue with description of building process, but now I´m quite busy, so be patient please. No problem to describe technologies and materials I use for wooden look or how I make gilded decorations.....
Here You can find complete process from the beginning, but description is not in English language:
