    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:

    Dear friends, thank you very much for your compliments and kind words, I appreciate them a lot. Today I took a video to show you the tutorial, how I make the belaying pins. All is handmade, cause I have not any special tools. The pins are solid enough, even if they are made of two parts. And what's new on RC..... I have finished spiral staircase - it is made of paper and covered with foils to imitate wooden look. Kind regards Doris

    Hello dear friends, I am pleased, you like my work. Thank you a lot, your words are much appreciated. Another part of Royal Caroline is completed, I have also improved some details at down part of the columns - they are shorter and have better shape. During next weeks I am going to make guns and other crew members. Best regards and enjoy the pics Doris

    Other pics: I also finished some blocks (they are made of wood on CNC lathe) and placed them on decks according to plans. In the past I made paper blocks but there were problems with rigging tension - some blocks did not hold this tension and became distorted.

    Hello dear friends, Thank you very much for your kind words, your feedback and praise is a great honour for me! I appreciate your support a lot. Well, nobody is perfect, I have also various mistakes on my models, but the main thing is, that I love this hobby a lot and enjoy making models. And of course I feel happy sharing this pleasure with you all. Some details on RC were improved - for example gratings - there was a mistake with correct orientation, so I modified the gratings using strips of foil imitating wood. And another change - had to shift the upper part of rudder and its wooden pole forward (about 7mm) to place there an iron ring for a tackle. The rudder is still fully functional. Improved gratings

    Hello dear Sherry, Your model looks incredible, I admire the high level of quality of your work and wonderfully created details. It is a very nice inspiration. San Felipe is really difficult model to build of wood. I like it very much. I am looking forward to continuing of your masterpiece. I wish you a great pleasure during the build and a lot of fun. Best regards, Doris

    Hello dear friends and thank you warmly for your kind words and recognition, I am extremely honored!! Well, I must say that I was so much nervous during filming the reportage. My students helped me a lot, I like them very much. We are friends. I'm glad that was paid attention on TV to this beautiful hobby that connects us all together. On Royal Caroline I have improved and added another details. Please, enjoy the pics and have a great time. Best regards, Doris

    Today I have got a surprise for you, there was another report on TV about my hobby and work ( i am a teacher at secondary school), so you can watch it here at this link: http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/ivysilani/10122978233-udalosti-v-regionech-ostrava/414231100030117-udalosti-v-regionech/obsah/303453-modelarka-stavi-plachetnici-z-18-stoleti-i-s-posadkou/ Please, enjoy it and have a great time.

    Hello dear friends, I appreciate your support and kind words a lot, thank you for your feedback and good advise. Well, I have changed the long wooden pole connected to the rudder - now it is in a right position ( I hope ) and also improved the helmsman's dress a little bit. The hat could be also good touch, but I would like to let helmsman´s head without changes ( I made him according to my friend from Czech forum and I want to preserve resemblance of his face and hair). Maybe I will make a hat and place it into his hand. You are right that people on royal yacht wore their best uniforms, unfortunately I have only few pictures from museums that can help me to imagine, how to create dresses for some crew members. Please, if you have some pics, I will be very grateful for them. I use medium dense cyanoacrylate adhesive, but it is important to apply accurately and in a small amount. Here you can see, how I glue together clear parts using this adhesive: And here are new pics of the model: Kind regards, Doris

    Thank you for your comments dear friends! Well, I like making sculptures of animals, so i decided to put some next to the name plate. I tried to create something new, what i have never seen on any model. I also know Tarjack masterpiece and first I was very surprised to see, that his ship is made of bone. Looks incredible! You are right, thank you for your advice. The wooden pole is in bad position, i looked again into plans and will try to repair it. The clothes were made according paintings of sailors from 18th century, but i was not sure, if I chose right. http://www.victorianpicturelibrary.com/sailors-18th-century
