Hi Mike, your precision on the little parts is quite amazing, it must be really fun to look at in person to see all those details

Thank you Fred. But it seems, the smaller the parts, the more time is required.

Thanks Glen. You may have had this experience . . . the assemblies and parts often look better to the naked eye than in the photos. I find this to be true much of the time. I spend a lot of time on the photos, but the finest details cannot always be captured in a digital image.

Hello Crafters,

This group of images covers the remaining work with the ship’s cranes.
If I counted correctly, 28 parts in each crane, all made from paper.
Parts were hand cut except for the ladders and the hooks. Those were laser cut.
For the crane rigging, I cut thin ribbons of paper, and colored them with oil paint (Testors Flat Black).

Best Regards,
Mike

Give me a minute. Had to find my jaw. Landed on the floor.
Simply beautiful.
