Hello dear friends!
I am pleased reading your posts, that is a great honour for me and appreciate your favor a lot.

Thank you very much for your support and kind words.
I have also found plenty of marvelous inspiration here at MSW watching your masterpieces and this helps me to achieve better results in my work.

 I am still learning and trying to improve, nobody is perfect. Some details in the cabins were replaced and I am going to change some others, couse in the larger pics I can see various mistakes and I am sure, it is possible to make it better.

Now I am making chairs, some of them are almost finished. In the end I am going to decorate all these chairs with tiny gilded ornaments. The upholstery is made ​​of blue-gray suede.

Doris - I just showed my wife your latest updates. She wanted to see every picture. She has also insisted that I tell you that what she sees is absolutely amazing. My wife is supportive of my hobby but she tires quickly of "just another picture of ships". But not your work she wants to see every bit, and wants me to let her know when you have posted anything.
