I second this!

I am trying to find a reliable and hopefully smooth process for making 1/100 ship’s boats with card and paper. This gives me hope!

I finished my first paper lifeboat for the 1/96 HMS Enterprize. Only 3 more to go then I gotta build the ship. I’ve greatly strayed from the kit parts and directions since I’ve been influenced by an amazing modeler from the Czech Republic named Doris. She builds the best paper ship models I’ve ever seen, in fact they are among the best of any ship models. Her work can be found on papermodelers.com . Search for Doris. Her Royal Caroline is beyond belief. Her techniques are fairly new to me and I hope to at least be in the ballpark of what she has done.

Here are some photos that hopefully explain how I’ve built this lifeboat.View attachment 139728View attachment 139729View attachment 139730View attachment 139731View attachment 139732View attachment 139733View attachment 139734View attachment 139735View attachment 139736View attachment 139737View attachment 139738View attachment 139739View attachment 139740View attachment 139741View attachment 139742View attachment 139743View attachment 139744View attachment 139745View attachment 139746

Wow George, i must say that i am very impressed with this build, i have do a lot of modeling in plastic and wood but never Paper and i cant get over the detail in your build i wish you all the best with your hobby and am looking forward to seeing more from you.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!
I have had some success putting together a 25’ longboat with card and paper at 1:100. Need to smooth the hull with another layer of filler and then plank it. Doesn’t look as good as the ones on this thread though..
