Good afternoon,

I would like to present my latest work on paper, the Virginia 1776 armed cutter. A boat that I have enjoyed a lot, trying to make my own mark and I hope you like it. Constructive criticism is welcome. All the best.

I was laughing while viewing the pics you posted! I cannot tell where the paper begins...the non paper details like the sail, rigging, mast, spars & boom, fittings, etc. flow right through to the hull of the model, and the perception makes it appear she is all wood! Best I've seen...Can you post details on the materials utilized in this construction, specifically the hull, deck, furniture & fittings....what details are non paper vs paper?
A masterful build....I love it!
 
hello wolf,
The hull is made of paper and also the cabins and the rudder wheel, the cannons are 3d printed by the producer, the boom is the mast and the wooden yards, the other textile sails and the usual thread. But nothing in new condition let's say.
 
You're telling me that I'm supposed to provide criticism of this model? How on earth do you think there's anything wrong? The only criticism I have is, you made paper look like the real thing! I was so confused when I read the "on paper" comment you made. I was like, this is online. I got all the way to other folks comments before I realized it wasn't a wood model. I mean, paper is wood but seriously this is incredible.
