ccoyle Posted January 11, 2021 Share #992 Posted January 11, 2021 1 hour ago, DORIS said: 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. This is not to be unexpected. It reminds of me of Neil Peart, the late drummer for Rush. After his wife passed away, he took a long hiatus from the band, but he came back to it eventually. If you are passionate about something, as your models clearly show, you will return to it at some point. But time away for grieving is something none of us would begrudge you.

EdT Posted February 23, 2021 Share #998 Posted February 23, 2021 Hello Doris, I have not been following all the work on MSW closely lately and I missed the post where you reported the loss of your husband. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I came across the post while showing your work to someone as I often do to describe the work of an exceptionally talented artist/modeler. You are in a class by yourself, for sure.

DORIS Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share #1000 Posted February 25, 2021 Dear friends, I am very grateful and honored reading your kind words and feel your support. Thank you all very much, I do appreciate your feedback a lot. Th Royal Katherine has been finished a few days ago, this build took me almost four years and approximate 7000hours of work and studying. I am sorry that my husband could not see the completion of the model, but he supported me a lot in my hobby and shared the successes and joy of building models with me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have helped me and followed my work through this forum. A few days ago there was a nice report about my work on card models on Czech television. It was also dedicated to my husband, with whom I wanted to say goodbye for the last time. You can watch the report here, but it is in Czech languauge: https://www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/10805121298-gejzir/221562235000005/video/819958?fbclid=IwAR1I97p0dLk-BvV_dO7SQtBYOl3AFps7K9qI9gWhKSZ4TEeRVBBPsp-3zy0 And here you can see plenty of pics of my largest finished model - the Royal Katherine - I consider her the best ship of all I have ever created: BETAQDAVE, Landrotten Highlander, WalrusGuy and 37 others 40 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvm27 Posted February 25, 2021 Share #1013 Posted February 25, 2021 These are magnificent examples of mixed media use in ship model building, Doris. Do they not have dust in your country? I wonder how you keep these masterpieces in pristine condition without being encased. Whatever will you do next? I hope you will share it here. We talked once of your publishing a book based on your techniques. Did that ever come to fruition?

Mark P Posted February 26, 2021 Share #1018 Posted February 26, 2021 This is an absolutely wonderful model! The weathered look of the sails is a great touch, but is only to be expected from such a careful, thoughtful, and incredibly skilled builder. Every little detail of this whole model bears witness to your dedication to producing a truly outstanding contribution to the field of ship modelling. Your methods for building in your chosen material are revelatory, and are, I am sure, an example which has brought the versatility of card to the notice of many who had no idea that such results were possible; and the same with your method of producing the decorative works. I join in with so many others who can only praise your works. Many, many congratulations!! Simply beyond words, really!!
