Lukasvdb Posted April 10, 2014 #666 Posted April 10, 2014 Hi Doris! Encredible build you have here! I am wondering how did you make the flag look so realistic? Did you print it on a piece of paper or tissue or...? Keep up te good work DORIS 1 Quote
Beef Wellington Posted April 11, 2014 #667 Posted April 11, 2014 My only disappointment is that I haven't seen your RC build log up until now Doris, this is such a different approach. As others have said, simply wonderful and amazing work, your technical skills are masterly, and only surpassed by the harmonious way that you bring everything together to create such a work of art. I'll definitely be watching to see how this progresses in the future. DORIS and WackoWolf 2 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

DORIS Posted August 7, 2014 Author #671 Posted August 7, 2014 Hello dear friends!Thank you very much for your comments and kind words, I am pleased and appreciate your support a lot.After a longer break I'm back and I will show you the continuation of my Royal Caroline scratch build.In addition, some weeks ago I finished my second plastic battleship - USS Missouri in a scale 1:350 (Tamiya manufacturer). My previous model IJN Yamato is also finished. Here are both build logs and a video, where you can see finished Missouri. http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=175&t=85794&start=15#p1623192 http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=175&t=83940&start=60#p1593304 I spent some time at the seaside in Turkey ( Mediterranean), this was a great relaxation and enjoyment for me and my husband.

DORIS Posted August 7, 2014 Author #672 Posted August 7, 2014 Hi Doris! Encredible build you have here! I am wondering how did you make the flag look so realistic? Did you print it on a piece of paper or tissue or...? Keep up te good work Well, this was already described at this thread, just have a look: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/?p=162240 And what´s new on the model..... I have just started with masts and rigging, I try to make all these things according to plans from Anatomy of RC and also follow books and other credible information to achieve more realistic result. The bowsprit: The ropes are handmade using the ropewalk. I use ropes by Corel or Amati... EdT, maurino, druxey and 32 others 35 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
DORIS Posted August 7, 2014 Author #673 Posted August 7, 2014 Making other masts: The masts are made from more parts, cause I haven't a lathe. This way is easier for me and the masts stay strong enough owing to metal reinforcements.
