DORIS Posted February 20, 2014 Author #512 Posted February 20, 2014 Dear friends, thank you very much for your comments and kind words, I am pleased reading your posts. Hi Doris.Truly excellent work on everything. Nothing is less than 100%You are outstanding in your class of modeling.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.Regards Antony. Well, I tried various possibilities, but I have my favourite technology, how to make the guns from paper, I will show it here. Maybe it will be useful for somebody. I have finished other carriages, fortunately there are only eight pieces... : Jeronimo, gjdale, sonicmcdude and 4 others 7 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card

bp1535 Posted February 21, 2014 #527 Posted February 21, 2014 Doris I have sent you a PM about making flags. This is Just to let you know. Bill Palmer Quote
DORIS Posted February 22, 2014 Author #528 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Hello dear friends,Your compliments are a great honour for me and are much appreciated. Thank you very much for your support.Well, I still find new ways and try to improve my work to get better results. I make models mainly for a joy and pleasure. Another supplement to the flags printing (because more people asked me questions): I could not watch my friend during printing the flags, he lives in the other side of your country and sent me printed flags by mail. He told that it is necessary to print each side of the flag 2-3 times in the laser printer to achieve higher quality of colours. I suppose the batiste keeps on the sheet of paper with self adhesive tape during printing. And of course you must print each time exactly to the same place - both sides, to achieve perfectly overlap.Kind regards Doris Edited February 22, 2014 by DORIS Jeronimo and WackoWolf 2 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
md1400cs Posted February 22, 2014 #529 Posted February 22, 2014 Doris, Astonishing talent. You are amazing - so creative. Those cannons are "ridiculous" Please, the idiom of this word, for us in the USA, is used in context when something is so outstanding that many words are needed, but we can't think of them so we just say "that's ridiculous" then add a few more words (:-) Michael DORIS 1 Quote Michael Current build : Sovereign of the Seas 1/78 Sergal Under the table: Golden Hind - C Mamoli Oseberg - Billings 720 - Drakkar - Amati Completed: Santa Maria-Mantua -- Vasa-Corel - Santisima Trinidad cross section OcCre 1/90th Gallery : Santa Maria - Vasa -

DORIS Posted February 23, 2014 Author #532 Posted February 23, 2014 Hello Albert and thank you very much for your compliment, I am pleased. Yesterday I completed remaining cannons. The ropes have a strong impregnation - I use for this a glue (thinned by water). This will allow to change the shape of ropes (after gentle re-soaking) and after drying the shape is already fixed. I am going to create other crew members who will perform some action with a cannon....
