I would like to make her similar as my Sovereign of the Seas. Kind regards Doris FrankWouts, Piet, Bluto 1790 and 10 others 13 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
DORIS Posted July 30, 2018 Author #362 Posted July 30, 2018 Hello dear friends, thank you for your feedback and "likes", I appreciate your support a lot. Now I am working on decoration at the bow; mainly caryatides and decorative moldings. Sometimes it is not easy to adapt all parts together, so I have to create new ones and try again. Best regards, Doris paulsutcliffe, druxey, Dan Vadas and 32 others 34 1 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
DORIS Posted July 30, 2018 Author #363 Posted July 30, 2018 You can also compare the bow of Royal Katherine with my older card model - Sovereign of the Seas. And, of course, my feathered assistant is also presented there.... paulsutcliffe, archjofo, Valeriy V and 46 others 48 1 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card

michael mott Posted July 30, 2018 #366 Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks again for your detailed information Doris. I did not realize that the modelling clay was as flexible as you have demonstrated with the long bead-like sections after it has been baked. A wonderful comparison shot with your two ships bow to bow.

Are your hands also made of gold? Your feathered assistant? Is that a good combo? I once had a feathered assistant and she "LOVED" paper and card! She was like a paper shredder and ripped every piece of paper in tiny pieces.

DORIS Posted November 4, 2018 Author #375 Posted November 4, 2018 Hello dear friends, Thank you all for your comments and nice words, I am pleased and do appreciate your support. On 7/30/2018 at 8:24 PM, amateur said: Hi Doris, did you change your goldpaint since the SoS? Jan Hello Jan, well, I use similar goldpaint, but it is still without weathering so far. In the end, all pieces of decoration will be modified to look more realistic, I am going to use weathering and clear varnish on their surface.

I continue with my favourite work - ship decoration and sculpting. I try to create it according to the Vale´s painting and relevant information about ship decoration from the 17th century. Plenty of interesting and useful information about real ships you can also find on Czech Modelforum, where is my main log with Royal Katherine and also a lot of professional advice from the TOP expert and experienced naval captain - Kpt.KL, who is my great advisor. For example: https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&sid=772034599a5b2cc19c793279d9695d7a&start=585#p2156912 https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=600#p2157251 https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=615#p2158101 mtaylor, popeye the sailor, BETAQDAVE and 4 others 7 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
