    Oh yes, I can imagine it, Missouri is a majestic battleship. I wanted to try assemble some plastic ships from Tamiya, it was a good relaxation and something new and interesting for me. But I have to say, that sailing ships are at the first place for me. And swimming with dolphins...? That was a wonderful experience, I love these beautiful and clever animals. But I would have one wish - swimming with the dolphins in the wild nature. I prefer freedom for animals. Today I have finished other small handmade parts - cleats, pins and some details for rigging. Soon I am going to start with shrouds. Have a great time and enjoy the pics. Kind regards, Doris

    Hello dear friends, I am very honored and pleased, thank you warmly for all your posts and praise. That is a great motivation and a feedback to me, I will try to keep the level of my work to be worthy of your words. Let me express my gratitude to you all, dear friends, I appreciate your support a lot. I also find here at MSW plenty of inspirational and outstanding work and enjoy watching, how you make your models. This also helps me to improve own work. I am still learning and try to make things better. Thank you very much for sharing. The flag is made of a very thin cloth - batiste. Before shaping I gently overspray both sides with flat clear varnish ( use Tamiya spray TS-80) and during drying I shape the flag by my hands and fingers. It is useful to use warm air, the shaping goes faster.

    Thank you dear Crackers , I am also pleased and feel great to be with you - we all are the family of ship lovers!! I like this forum and people here a lot. And here are other pics of my work.... I improve almost all the CNC blocks to place the rope around them in a better way:

    Preparing the pendants and tackles:

    Some of wooden blocks with weathering - I use Tamiya acrylic paint for this:

    Making other masts: The masts are made from more parts, cause I haven't a lathe. This way is easier for me and the masts stay strong enough owing to metal reinforcements.

    Well, this was already described at this thread, just have a look: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/?p=162240 And what´s new on the model..... I have just started with masts and rigging, I try to make all these things according to plans from Anatomy of RC and also follow books and other credible information to achieve more realistic result. The bowsprit: The ropes are handmade using the ropewalk. I use ropes by Corel or Amati...

    Hello dear friends! Thank you very much for your comments and kind words, I am pleased and appreciate your support a lot. After a longer break I'm back and I will show you the continuation of my Royal Caroline scratch build. In addition, some weeks ago I finished my second plastic battleship - USS Missouri in a scale 1:350 (Tamiya manufacturer). My previous model IJN Yamato is also finished. Here are both build logs and a video, where you can see finished Missouri. http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=175&t=85794&start=15#p1623192 http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=175&t=83940&start=60#p1593304 I spent some time at the seaside in Turkey ( Mediterranean), this was a great relaxation and enjoyment for me and my husband. Here are some pics from our stay: http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=68385&start=960#p1620612 Best regards, Doris

    I like this material, making models from card/paper does not need any special tools. I have only basic tools and modest equipment for my hobby. But it doesn´t matter, I enjoy making models even so... ****** Well dear friends, these days I am making the plastic model IJN Yamato, so please be patient, I will continue with Royal caroline as soon as possible. I will prepare all masts and yards. Here is a link with Yamato in Czech language ( i am a beginner with plastic models... ) : http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=175&t=83940 Have a great time

    Hello dear friends, Thank you very much for your kind words and praise, they mean a lot for me. I appreciate your support, thať s a great honour and pleasure for me. I will try to continue as best as possible to make the model worthy of your words! Hello dear Sherry, well, I do not thin the clay, I only soften it by kneading in my hand / it needs also a bit higher temperature. Then it is possible to shape the clay easily, because it is soft enough. I dip my fingers or tools in a cold/icy water to prevent stickiness of the clay. I believe, you will manage it perfectly, your skills are superb! I love your Caroline a lot. Well, all decoration is handmade by myself. I try to make the details according to plans to achieve more realistic result. No, all are shaped individually without the mold. I know, that using the mold could be easier for making same ornaments, but I prefer extra fine details, so i decided to make them this way. BTW, i must say, that I haven´t much experience with making decorations using mold. Best regards Doris
