Hubac's Historian Posted January 8, 2021 #985 Posted January 8, 2021 That is just pure magic! I have enjoyed watching every step of this project come together. And now, if I may propose a new project deserving of your particular talents: La Reine of 1668, as drawn here in 1672. Nobody can capture the elegant magnificence of French Baroque ornamentation quite like you. Just something to consider🙃😉 DORIS, VonHoldinghausen, Archi and 5 others 7 1 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.

Sailor1234567890 Posted January 10, 2021 #988 Posted January 10, 2021 Doris, I have often thought you'd do an incredible job of some of my favourite ships, like Cutty Sark, or a 74 gun ship. But your talent lies in the fancy detailed carvings of these era of ships and I must agree with Hubac's Historian, you should have a go at La Reine.

DORIS Posted January 11, 2021 Author #990 Posted January 11, 2021 Dear friends, I do appreciate your comments and support. Thank you all very much. Well, I am not sure I will start with new projects in future. I have lost motivation and enthusiasm, always shared it with my husband and created the models also for him - he supported me a lot and loved what I did. Now I'm finishing my best model - the Royal Katherine and definitely don't want to give it up. I added the bonnet under the fore course to achieve another detail for better realism. A followed these drawings from Lees´ book: Now I am working on four anchors, they will be made of card.
