I wonder about where you got the tin foil/aluminium for plating (litho, other? what is thickness of the sheet) and your method of riveting (punching? what did you use for a punch, syringe needle?)
You may be interested in this paper model of Vanya

Happy modeling,

Tin plating steel has from cafe tin can, aluminum from beer can. Just cut tin cans with scissors and get nice tin sheets.
All plates has riveted to using small (+) screwdriver.
For this ship I used approximately 100 tin cans.
For this ship has not to much left for total finish. (main cannons, windlass, bumpers and RC)
Yes i know that topic. Paper model and plastic kit not interest my. I like scratchbuilding without ready components.
For future I interest plans for Bremen class frigate F122 or something similar.
