A very nice overall look of you paddle steamer. And also a very nice display stand.
You can be proud of this result, Lachezar.

Hi Peter,
I am really happy that you like my latest project. The model stand is my design but I regret that I did not have the right paint to color it.

Lachezar
 
Hello friends,
hello Russ and Jim. Thank you for your comments, which make me happy. I want to say that all my models /about 90 in number/ are mainly made of paper. Paper is my main building material. You can also make very small details from paper. The model of this ship is 34.8 cm long and 6.8 cm wide without the paddle wheels.
Regards,
Lachezar

Wow! I tried a paper model of a Fokker Triplane many, many years ago. It didn't end well. After 90 models ... well ... that explains why yours is so magnificent. Working in paper certainly reduces the number of tools necessary, though. You probably don't need the Admiral's approval to buy a new X-Acto knife! ROTF
 
You made this look awesome! This was a ton of work! I can relate to your feather wheel build - which looks fantastic by the way - as I did one myself from pictures of the real ship. I made them out of thin plywood, water proofed them and they work great in water.
