DORIS Posted January 18, 2019 Author #693 Posted January 18, 2019 Thank you for your comments, Michel and E.J., and also to you all for the support and "likes". Today I have finished nameplate, its base and letters are made out of card, the frame is wooden. I tried to do it in the style of English Restoration approx 1670 (the frame and small ornaments) and you can also find there initials of authors - me and Captain KL who helps me to achieve more realistic results and gives me professional advice how to do things correctly and better. That's why you can watch here a completely different build of the Royal Katharine than those that are based on modeling plans - unfortunately, in many ways, fictional. So enjoy the pics and have a great time. EJ_L, igorcap, G.L. and 38 others 41 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
rwiederrich Posted January 18, 2019 #694 Posted January 18, 2019 Beautiful...... questions: Did you secure the pedestals to the base...or are they floating? Did you cut out the letters with a knife and then paint them...and if you did..how did you do it so smoothly? popeye the sailor, mtaylor, DORIS and 2 others 5 Quote Current build: Build log: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25382-glory-of-the-seas-medium-clipper-1869-by-rwiederrich-196 Finished build: Build log: of 1/128th Great Republic: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13740-great-republic-by-rwiederrich-four-masted-extreme-clipper-1853/# Current build(On hold): Build log: 1/96 Donald McKay:http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4522-donald-mckay-medium-clipper-by-rwiederrich-1855/ Completed build: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/album/475-196-cutty-sark-plastic/ The LORD said, "See, I have set (them) aside...with skills of all kinds, to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts."
DORIS Posted January 18, 2019 Author #695 Posted January 18, 2019 Hello Rob, Thank you for comment. Well, the pedestals are secured only gently in the middle section, so that they can be removed due to the additional painting of lower part of the hull. Yes, first I cut the letters (I also use quality scissors/the Solingen brand), put them on adhesive tape and oversprayed with gold paint/Tamiya TS-21. After the first layer, the surface is still harsh with plenty of imperfections. So I applied more spray layers and after drying and placing letters on the nameplate there were again added several layers of this paint - but here I applied it using small brush. In the end the letters are smooth and more plastic. Best regards mtaylor, BETAQDAVE, paulsutcliffe and 9 others 12 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card

Hubac's Historian Posted January 30, 2019 #715 Posted January 30, 2019 What I really love is the scale of the guns in their ports; they really convey the mass and heft of the artillery, as often seen in Van De Velde portraits. Beautiful, though these ships are, the guns are what make them terrible and terrifying. It’s hard to imagine what the men who fought in these ships were feeling, as they anticipated the first broadside.

DORIS Posted January 30, 2019 Author #720 Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Dear friends, your words mean a lot for me and I am really honored. Thank you all very much. I tried to make cannons in this scale ultra realistic and also find the suitable ways, how to achieve such result. It was not so easy as usually, but I love great challenges and this one is really attractive. I have never made these details on previous ship models. I saw "Rose and crown"relief and various marks on cannons but in fact the main advice, how to do it correctly, I got from Captain KL, who described all information in perfect details and professionally in Czech forum. That is to a great extent his merit that I have done such details. His expert advice are priceless for me and many other people, who want to create realistic models and learn a lot of useful and interesting information about real ships and their history. https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=885#p2186774 https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=885#p2186883 https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=110763&start=885#p2187430 4 hours ago, druxey said: Incredible, Doris.
