Wow - This is astounding! Someday I hope to be nearly as good, but you have set the bar very high!
This is museum-quality work.

Doris,
Your model would be stunning even if it were wood or plastic, but the fact that it is a card model makes it, in my mind, doubly impressive. Congratulations!

Hello dear friends!
I am very grateful of your comments and approbations, I revere your words a lot! That´s the most beautiful reward for me and I am very honored. THANK YOU very much for your comments and congratulations! I would like to take next photos outdoors and add them here for you. The weather is very windy in our country these days, but I hope it will be better during the weekend. The instruction how I make gilded figures and decorations I will describe in detail during my next project – Sovereign of the seas. There will be a lot of gilded figures so I´ll try to take many pictures during their forming. It´s difficult to describe universally, but here you can see how the formed figures look during the process: Before baking – figures are shaped under cold water by tweezers and then placed onto special non adhesive paper: After baking: After painting by gold acrylic color:

Today I took new pictures outdoors. It was a bit difficult, because it was windy, but finally I managed it and Victory kept fine. So enjoy the photos:

Doris...H.M.S. Victory looks fantastic. I have always wanted a ship of the line to grace a shelf in my place, but don't have the skills to come close to your quality of work.
Well done.

Wow Doris,
You put my efforts to shame and I thought I was clever. I must admit that I could not produce a model in card as nice and neat and detailed as your one. There is a wood model for sale in Aussie, last time I looked, for A$1,000 and even that, is not a patch on your model. What scale are you building HMS Victory at, 1/96? is this a kit from a card kit, or is it scratch built, off plans. I am an Australian living in Australia. A beautiful, beautiful model, Doris - well done. I will watch this thread with much interest in the time ahead, to watch how your model grows BigBenn |

Hi Doris,
What is the name of the maker of the Gold paint you use? Will the paint tarnish in time, or will it retain its colour? BigBenn |

Hello friends!
Thank you very much for your comments. I am very honored! My Victory comes from Shipyard´s card model, but a lot of her parts I had to change and adapt, because I built Victory in her original look from 1778-1798. And there are added a lot of parts and details by my own as well. The scale is 1:96. For gilded figures I used Motip acrylic paint in spray, its gold color doesn´t change in time, it is suitable also for outdoors. I even used this paint for some engine parts in my car and after years it still looks like new.
