DORIS Posted December 27, 2014 Author #765 Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Hello dear friends,thank you very much for your praise and kind words. I am pleased and honored you like my work.Sometimes modeler needs a change and this plastic Chebec was a nice touch. The kit by Imai is rarely available, because the manufacturer does not exist for many years. Nice!How did you het those colours so nice? They are not just out of the can revell-colours, it looks as if you did some aging and weathering on them.Jan Hello Jan, I do not use Revell colours for finished painting. I used oil paints (this is my first plastic model I have painted this way) to achieve wooden look and more realistic weathering. For example: http://eshop.koh-i-noor.eu/oil-colours/c-1129/ It is necessary to apply clear coat/synthetic lacquer to finish painting. A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Doris Fabulous work on your Chebec Doris: It is funny,I have been 'eyeing up' Heller's offering of this vessel in 1/50.It bears a striking resemblance to Le Requin. Kind Regards Nigel Well dear Nigel, this Heller's Chebec in 1/50 is really superb. http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/seznam-modelu-plachetnic-en/modely-v-meritku-do-1_100/le-chebec-en I also I thought about it, but it is too large for me. Next year I am going to build La Réale by Heller in 1/75, I found this beautiful kit under Christmas tree.... http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/seznam-modelu-plachetnic-en/modely-v-meritku-do-1_100/la-reale-de-france-en Edited December 27, 2014 by DORIS mtaylor 1 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card

I have unfortunately less free time for hobbies ( because I have a new and very responsible job as a sales director in a company selling cosmetics), but I would like to continue and make models for relaxation.

DORIS Posted January 1, 2015 Author #775 Posted January 1, 2015 Dear friends,first I would like to wish you happy New Year 2015 and have a great time, plenty of health and optimism.Thank you very much for your kind words and all the comments, you wrote to me.I am blessed to be here with you and appreciate your favour a lot. Tomorrow it is my first day at new work so now I feel a bit nervous, cause this will be completely different than my previous occupation.Your support and friendship mean a lot for me and helps me being strong. Thank you warmly. During last days I finished topmasts and deadeyes on the tops. I used card and pale wood (ramin). know, the work goes slowly, but I try to make the model neatly and much realistic, than my previous ships, so it is necessary to spend some time studying plans and nautical literature. jct, maggsl_01, edmay and 36 others 39 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card
schnu Posted January 1, 2015 #776 Posted January 1, 2015 Congratulations for your new work. As always your work is breath-taking, a true piece of art, I was asking myself how you handle the dust, as your other models do not seem to be in a case. I hope that you will have a pleasant experience at your new job. Good luck and a happy new year. DORIS, SteveLarsen and WackoWolf 3 Quote
