Welcome back, Doris, and congratulations on a stunning model! I'm sure many of us were wondering what and how you were doing. I hope your new work is satisfying and will allow you time to continue to create more outstanding models. Dobri!

Thank you very much for your kind words, dear friends! Your support helped me a lot during the work.
What will be the next model in my shipyard? Well, now I need to have a rest, so I am going to make some plastic kits for relax - maybe La Reale de France (Heller, scale 1:75)

and also have at home small kit of Vasa/Revell - 1/150 and two battle ships from WW2 (Musashi and New Jersey, 1/350, Tamiya.

In future I am going to build HMS Sussex (probably in 1:60 scale; scratch build) from card. This could be another great project.

Beautiful, Doris. The fit and finish of the elements in the Royal quarters compares with the finest of doll houses. I wonder what would happen if you entered the model in a doll house exhibition? I bet they'd be blown away. Pass me a slice of that watermelon!

Hello Doris,

Absolutely gorgeous and inspirational,  glad your new job is working out better for you.  You've been missed

Thank you dear friends,
your words mean a lot for me and I am really very honoured. I also thank you warmly for awesome inspiration I find here in your build logs. I admire your work on ship models a lot.
Royal Caroline is my newest and concurrently best model I have built, but  I must admit, there are some of details and things, that could be made better. So I will have an occasion to find new ways, how to improve the work at my future scratch builds.Royal Caroline is exposed together with Sovereign of the seas at the nicest place in the room, where we have more than 30 ship models. This is my most favorite room in our house. :wub:
