Truly astonishing work, Ondra!  You have added as much detail as I do in 1/48 scale and the final product is so beautifully finished.  I'm in awe.
Cheers,
Bud

That is truly amazing! Splendid, tiny replica you've got there. Do you use a dissecting microscope or something like that? I would need my Optivisor just to look at the finished model.

Echo others, here -

Superb - rigging in this scale must test your patience to the limit!

And to think I thought Bertl was clever using Giant Match Sticks.... Now you have inserted Giant Hands  ::) Seriously your work is AMAZINGLY DETAILED in any scale but in 1/144th  ::)

Thank you all very much for your comments, I am really very surprised of such a positive feedback!

I do not use any microscope or magnifying glass, I tried so but unfortunately I am not able to work with them - one loses the sense of "depth" or to say "distance".

So I have to get along with bare eyes...

What I am wondering is where you found the huge coin?  I am absolutely
gob-smacked at the workmanship of your model.  I would probably think
it was beautiful in person...or be tempted to whack it with a fly swatter. ;D
Wonderful job, Ondra.  My hats' off to you.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
