    Few days ago I have returned onto the board (prow section) and started to make various details. I try to make them according to historical facts and original models from museums to achieve more realistic result. Best regards, Doris

    Hello dear friends! I appreciate your comments a lot and thank you very much for your kind words. That´s a really pleasure for me. I feel also happy among our students and must say, that I like my work indeed. I enjoy the teaching when I am able to give them knowledge and useful experience for their life. A lot of them know about my hobbies and they often come to my office to see, what is new on models ( i show them pics in my computer). Some of them also watch my work on forums from home and occasionally ask me, how i make this or that..... Once I even showed them, how i shape the modelling clay, so i brought it to school and during breaktime i created a small horse - figure for them. And now Royal Caroline and new progress..... I have completely changed the draft scale to achieve realistic rendition. http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=68385&start=480#p1436217 A lot of valuable information gives me a top expert and Captain with whom I also cooperated on Sovereign of the seas and HMS Victory.

    Hello Anja, I have just browsed through your thread and i really enjoyed the pics. Your work looks great. My admiration to you, Anja, you are a very skilful lady. Thank your for sharing this inspirating and beautiful build. And I wish you all the best and good luck with the interview. Kind regards, Doris

    Thank you a lot for your comments, dear friends, I am pleased you like my work. There is still a lot of things I should improve in my work so I have motivation to learn and try new ways.... Numerals are printed on matt photo paper (using ink printer), then oversprayed by acrylic clear varnish and after drying the numerals are cut out and placed on the model. It is necessary to achieve as thin layer of paper as possible so I separate bottom layers of paper using knife and tweezers. How did you know? You are absolutely right, I really work as a teacher at high school and I like my work a lot. Here is a pics - me (in the middle) among some of our students: Kind regards, Doris

    Hello dear friends, thank you very much for your praise and kind words, that´s a great honour for me and appreciate your comments a lot. I am glad, I can share my hobby with you all. I also find here plenty of great inspiration watching your beautiful models and inspirative technologies. Thank you for this beautiful pleasure. Today I have made a rudder of card and self-adhesive foils with wooden look. Here are some pics from process:

    Hello Johann, Thank you for you words. I use Testors enamel: http://www.modelcars.com/model-master-military-enamel-gold.html or acrylic spray: And for patina water-thinned paint from Tamiya (acrylic mini) - flat black, brown, dark copper and gun metal (mixed together with plenty of original Tamiya thinner X-20A). Kind regards, Doris

    Royal Caroline has finally her base, I also created some sculptures to decorate it. The name "Royal Caroline" is made of paper letters.

    Hello dear friends! Thank you very much for your comments and praise, I feel privileged to be here together with you and appreciate it a lot. Thank you also for watching my build. Hello Peter, I use synthetic fabric and after sewing they are painted and impregnated.I will show my procedure again in this thread. Hello Jan, Royal Caroline is at this moment my best card model, I really enjoy the work on her and this is reflected in the result. I know, there are still some things I should make better, but it is important to learn and search new ways how to improve. This is a thick paper, you can find it for example on boxes for packaging.... Kind regards, Doris

    Hello Michael, your project is just awesome, let me express my admiration to your inspirational work. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards, Doris

    Hello dear friends! I am very honoured you like my work, thank you very much for your comments, I appreciate them a lot. Hello Anja, I have just started with decoration and furniture, soon I will bring some pics. Kind greetings to you and your husband. Hello Johann, I use special foils with wooden look for finishing the surface. I work with these self-adhesive foils for many years and I am very satisfied with the durability and unchanging shape and colour. For example: http://www.fototapety.cz/4174-imitace-dreva-d-c-fix/ http://www.tapety-folie.cz/samolepici-tapety/drevo/c-2757/ Hello Greg, I often create some crew members for size ratio of the ship and also try to make realistic clothes from that period. All these figures are hand-made from clay and some of them are created according to real people i know. I am going to bring another video- tutorial, how to make these figures. Thank you, I am pleased and honoured. Of course, I plan to make full rigging on Caroline. I like that work and prefer complete sailing ships with rigging and sails, it gives a monumental appearance. Hello Floyd, I make paper models for many years, I have started when I was only six years old. There are still some things, I should improve at my work, but I make models for joy and relax and like to share them with my friends. Kind greetings to you and your wife. Hello cabrapente, the work with clay is enjoyable and after training it is no problem to create anything you like. Best regards, Doris

    Thank you for your comments, dear friends, I am glad you like my work. I am pleased my work can help you. Today I took some pics of finished decoration, so you can enjoy them in a better quality.
  22. DORIS
    And the last part of decoration.... Upper section of blue area was decorated with wooden columns together with two kinds of gilded ornaments made of clay. v These are the newest pics of the model.
  23. DORIS
    RC has already finished decoration on the bow bulkhead. All these sculptures come from my fantasy, cause there are no exact information about original design of these sculptures in the book Anatomy of the ship. So I designed my own...
  24. DORIS
    Finished bow decoration on the port. You can see my feathered friend in some pics, he often likes to show off in front of the camera....
  25. DORIS
    The bow section was completed by grid (made of wood), I suppose it is more practical than empty space between railing (it is missing in Royal Caroline plans in the book Anatomy of RC).
