Hubac's Historian Posted July 30, 2017 Share #91 Posted July 30, 2017 Hi Doris, Yesterday, I was surfing through Pinterest, as I often do, when I found this image of a VDV ship portrait. It was not specifically identified as the RK, but it certainly seems to be her. If you haven't seen this, I thought you might appreciate the wealth of detail that is apparent, here: RdK, Archi, FrankWouts and 6 others 9 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.

Bill Hime Posted August 1, 2017 Share #92 Posted August 1, 2017 Doris, It was actually one of your models that I first saw on Youtube all lit up that inspired me to want to pursue model ship building.

DORIS Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share #95 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Hello dear friends, I did not continue on the model during the summer, but now the conditions are better and more free time, so I am here again with new pics. Thank you very much for your compliments and kind words, this is really honour for me and your advices and ideas are much appreciated. There were added some details/moldings on the hull and I also decided to change colour on wales to achieve more realistic result - I proceeded according to the original painting. The black stripe is now situated about 1cm lower.

Is there a wait list, among your friends, to have their likeness modeled and placed somewhere on the ship? That is such a wonderful and personal touch that must make the experience of sharing your models that much more rewarding. If I ever get to know you well enough that you would include me on one of your ships, I hope that you will give my likeness a full hair restoration!

DORIS Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share #105 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Hello dear friends, I am spending plenty of time studying literature and browsing historical ship models and paintings to achieve more realistic result in my work. I also made several plastic kits to relax and enjoyed something easier. For example Yacht Atlantic, Yacht Corsair ii (ITC models), CSS Alabama, USS America, Constitution, Napoleon and others...). You can look through them here: http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=114818 http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=109487 http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=118521 Now I continue with the upper deck and details below. Soon I will start creating first decorations and I am looking for relevant information based on original design. I have for example this book, but it is in Swedish language. https://www.archaeology.su.se/english/about-us/news/new-book-by-niklas-eriksson-riksäpplet-arkeologiska-perspektiv-på-ett-bortglömt-regalskepp-1.348854 It is a problem to understand the text, unfortunately I can't find this book in English. Please, could you help me? Don´t you have this book in English language? [Admin Edit: Pls do not ask for pdf versions of commercial books!] I will be very gratefull.

davyboy Posted February 21, 2018 Share #113 Posted February 21, 2018 Hi Doris, How nice to see you are back with your model of the Royal Katherine. Sorry I can't help with the book in Swedish but the following book may be of help to you. 17th and 18th Century Ship Models from the Kriegstein Collection. Second revised and expanded edition. It was published by Seawatch Books ISBN 978-0-9820579-7-1 but unfortunately it does not appear now on their current list. Perhaps your local library could obtain a copy for you. Some of the models are of ships of around this period with very good colour photographs nearly all showing the ornamentation,these are:- The Royal James 1671 1st Rate. A Charles the second 4th Rate ca 1680. The Coronation 1685 2nd Rate. I have this book and it's a treasure. I just checked and see there are copies of the first edition for sale on Abe books but am not sure how much difference there is from my edition. Probably not a great lot I would think.

DORIS Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share #117 Posted February 27, 2018 Hello dear friends, I do appreciate your kind words and willingness to help. Thank you very much for your helpful advice and ideas for information sources. I have an opportunity to build more realistic model of Royal Katherine so I will be very grateful for your ideas and constructive criticism. I found out a few days ago that the book is available only in Swedish unfortunatly, so we can only hope for a translation into English one day..... The main deck is already in place and now I am working on various details around it and also prepare other decks and upper construction. The hull - although it is made of card - is very solid and heavy. The model weights more than 5kg and the hull is over 1m long. Here are newest pics, I hope you´ll enjoy them: Dee_Dee, pythagoras, Archi and 26 others 29 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DORIS Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share #120 Posted February 28, 2018 Dear friends, I am pleased you like my work on RK. To achieve the satin tan color of the planking I use Tamiya acrylic colours - matt shades of brown, white and black.... strongly thinned by original acrylic thinner and paint retarder (both Tamiya). I apply a very thin layer of color and after drying I overspray the surface using flat clear varnish TS-80 also from Tamiya. Now I am finishing with decks planking: tadheus, Jack12477, albert and 32 others 35 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
