DORIS Posted February 15, 2014 Author #484 Posted February 15, 2014 Hello dear friends,I am touched by your comments, your words and praise mean a lot for me. Thank you very much for your support and comments. That is a great honour for me and also a commitment to make things as best as possible to be worthy of your words. On Royal Caroline I finished a small staircase and railing in front of the main cabin: And there are also prepared all flags printed in a laser printer on the thin cloth - batiste (I have no such printer at home, but one of my friends helped me with printing).The biggest flag is already placed on the flagpole: Captain Slog, Jeronimo, BANYAN and 17 others 20 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
DORIS Posted February 15, 2014 Author #485 Posted February 15, 2014 I have also created other crew members - a midshipman and one of the officers: GTM, fnkershner, fatih79 and 14 others 17 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card

DORIS Posted February 15, 2014 Author #489 Posted February 15, 2014 All ropes for Royal Caroline will be handmade on rope-walk machine, some ropes are already prepared and I have decided to remake the anchor rope to achieve more realistic result: The auxiliary rope is not finished yet, it will be added the loops to manipulate the anchor rope.

DORIS Posted February 15, 2014 Author #490 Posted February 15, 2014 And today I have finished the chimney above the kitchen - made of card (inside) and clay, so the cook can prepare some delicious meals for us....

NMBROOK Posted February 15, 2014 #491 Posted February 15, 2014 Fabulous work Doris It looks like you are working to the Anatomy of the ship book,same as me.There is a mistake on the drawings as to how the bowsprit is anchored.In the side view it is shown going to a wooden plate that fits between the legs on the foredeck bitts,as the gussets of the anchor bitts falls short.In Plan it shows the gussets much longer on the anchor bitts and the wooden bowsprit support plate fits between these.I just wondered how you went about this as I don't think you have posted a photo before the foredeck went on.I apologise in advance if you read this with google translater as I should imagine this will make little sense.

NMBROOK Posted February 15, 2014 #494 Posted February 15, 2014 Hi Doris I fully understand,I will do a drawing and post it later tonight.If you do take the book as gospel,then it means there is little support for the bowsprit. Kind Regards Nigel DORIS 1 Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
dgbot Posted February 15, 2014 #495 Posted February 15, 2014 Doris, your work is magnificent. There are a lot of modelers out there who are in awe of your craftmanship. That is a work of art and beauty worthy of a gallery or a museum. I would love to see that model at our contest in Manitowoc WI. It would take peoples choice modelers choice and best of show.

DORIS Posted February 15, 2014 Author #496 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) dgbot: Thank you for your kind words, dear David, I am really very honoured reading your post. Nigel: I am not sure, but maybe you mean this place: I've made the necessary adjustment on the bow - there was added another bulkhead under the foredeck ( it is not drawn in plans and other parts also have been changed and modified) to achieve better durability and solidity of the hull - the model is mainly made of card and needs larger reinforcement. Did you mean this? Kind regards Doris Edited February 15, 2014 by DORIS fatih79, Jeronimo and NMBROOK 3 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card

NMBROOK Posted February 15, 2014 #498 Posted February 15, 2014 Hi Doris Yes I understand what you have done now As you will have seen on my build,I haven't got this compartment as I am working direct to the book.The problem is what should in reality be actually at the end of the bowsprit and how this is fixed.If you follow the book it is just a square block sat on the deck,it just seems wrong and not strong enough.I may consult Janos and see what he came up with.Thanks again and looking forward to more of your fantastic build Kind Regards Nigel DORIS 1 Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline

What kind of fabric is it (it looks so realistic at scale), and how did you print these in a laser printer? Best wishes, Mark Well, some information were already written here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/?p=162240 The flags are printed in a laser printer on the thin cloth - batiste - I do not know, if you use this name in English - this cloth is 100% cotton and it is very thin. It is possible to purchase it here: http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/list-of-kits-and-accessories/accessories---sails_-flag_-cloth-for-sails I prepared the patterns of flags and because I have no laser printer at home, I asked for help my friend and he printed the flags for me. It is also possible to order accurate flags for your models in the link above. I improved the flags using Tamiya spray - semi gloss clear TS-79 and bright red TS-49 to highlight red colour and impregnate the cloth. During drying I shaped the flag into its current form.

Is it possible to cast the guns using the cast metal one as a master ? Using blended paper and clay with PVA glue. Have seen this done a long time ago but cannot find where on the net.
