DORIS Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share #753 Posted March 15, 2019 Here are current pics. I tried to create these pieces of decoration according to museum models from that period but wanted to achieve unique/original design as well.

Hubac's Historian Posted March 15, 2019 Share #754 Posted March 15, 2019 Doris’s update: Well, since I saw you last, I’ve completely armed the whole ship - proofmarks and All. All of the upper decks have been framed and laid with their accompanying bulkheads and deck railings. I’ve also decorated said bulkheads, fabricated and installed all of the driftrails, and completed the lighting. I’ve also pressed the extra crew from the Caroline into service for her sea trials. It has been a busy morning! My update: Well, since I saw you last, I’ve opened a jar of paint. It was a stubborn lid, and I had to run it under the hot tap to soften the dried paint. More to follow. Thanks for looking in! As ever, I have never been happier to be shamed with your prolific output and pace; it is a joy to see the Katherine rise. I continue to be inspired by your innate sense of scale and proportion. When I look at the ornament of the upper bulwarks, it seems to me that there is a perfect balance between the heraldic ornaments against the blackness of their ground; they are also appropriately shallow, relative to the gunport wreathes and window embellishments. It all looks impossibly realistic to me! And, yet, there it is. Well done, Doris! DORIS, Piet, EJ_L and 5 others 8 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.

wefalck Posted March 15, 2019 Share #755 Posted March 15, 2019 Has there ever been a video recorded, showing you sculpting ? I am particularly intrigued by the repetive accuracy. Getting one ornament right is one thing, but getting them all looking the same is quite another thing. I know, you are using a proprietary Czech sculpting material, but would you have any experience with a brand available in other parts of Europe and you could recommend ? It seems that your material becomes rather smooth and translucent after baking, which is good for the following gilding. I am not aware of another sculpting material that reacts like this.

druxey Posted March 15, 2019 Share #756 Posted March 15, 2019 Brilliant work as usual, Doris. I'm sorry that pictures of your work have been pirated as someone else's. While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it is really annoying that an inferior product is being marketed using your images. Perhaps add a watermark on your pictures as well? An unscrupulous person could easily remove your copyright sign and name using Photoshop! It's a shame that there are those sorts of people out there. michael mott, shipmodel, EJ_L and 6 others 9 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes she has linked to a series of videos of her sculpting not too far above in this thread. https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=183&t=85813#p1613874 And she has remarked a few times that she believes her material is similar to FIMO soft.

Kurt Johnson Posted March 16, 2019 Share #762 Posted March 16, 2019 Doris, In every trade and craft there are people who are extremely talented and way above everyone else. But, Doris you are scary good! You must have inherited an amazing set of genes and all planets must have in perfect alignment. It’s a shame that most all of us at MSW cannot see your masterpieces only by computer. On behalf of us all, thank you for that privilege. I especially like the illuminated scenes. Two questions if I may. How long have you been modeling in this media? And do you ever leave a personal hidden momento of some kind on or in the model?

DORIS Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share #764 Posted March 17, 2019 Hello dear friends, I am very grateful for your support and comments, your words mean a lot for me. I'm flattered and do appreciate your praise. Thank you all very much. I believe the Royal Katherine will be my best card model after finishing, but there are several things and details I should improve in the model and during the build I try to correct or do them better. I do not continue very fast although want to add something new on the model as often as possible. On 3/15/2019 at 12:38 PM, Hubac's Historian said: .......

Next time I am going to relax and build something according to complete building plans. The Royal Katherine is the most chalenging project I have ever realized. Wefalck: Plenty of my tutorials and videos have been posted here, so please look through my thread. I am going to add others in the future. I don't have experience with other materials, so I can't recommend anything else. I am satisfied with this one I use. 8 hours ago, Kurt Johnson said: ..... Two questions if I may.

Kurt I build card models more than 30 years.I am not sure if I understand well your second question ( unfortunately my English is not very good), but I try to devote my greatest effort to all parts of the model. I usually put also a "part of myself" into building these models - not only my modelling skills, but also "emotion" and "love". **************************************************** The belfry is finished and now I am continuing with other pieces of decoration on another railing... I try to create it according to museum models from that period to achieve more realistic result. Unfortunately there are no exact plans or drawings of these parts of the Royal Katherine, so I have to improvise a bit.....😉 Enjoy the pics and have a great time.

Kurt Johnson Posted March 17, 2019 Share #766 Posted March 17, 2019 Doris, By leaving a momento In your model. I have heard of some people signing their name in hidden place or leaving a coin or something unknown to others. The emotion and love you put in your models certainly isn’t hidden. Personally, I usually leave a few drops of blood, but it has never been intentional, just by accident.

But on my older scratch-build model Sovereign of the Seas stayed my tears, cause I had some accidents and was sad also because of the problems and disappointment that life brought to me then.... *********************************** I have decided to improve decoration on the bow section and make larger/wider sculptures to achieve more realistic appearance. Lower pieces of decoration are completely new and they overlap the upper cheeks as you can see on many museum models from that period. I believe, this decision was good.

Ron luttrell Posted April 14, 2019 Share #774 Posted April 14, 2019 Hello Doris, Wow, you are very talented. I was keeping up with your sovereign of the seas build, very impressive. The Royal Katherine,very, very nice. My name is Ron I have been building ship models since I was 7 years old ,I also am a naval and maritime historian. The 17th ships especially the Naval Anglo dutch wars, and the American Naval Civil War,ww2 battleships, and submarines and the science fiction ships like captain nemo nautilus are my favorites. It's so nice to see women doing this art. Model ship building has its place in America,but far more popular in European countries. Anyway I had to complement you on your work. Take care,keep up the good work. Ron popeye the sailor and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
