Wow what a progress Doris, the new crowns are beautiful, the handpumps magnificent. If it is a rainy day and I do not want to go out to the museum I simply browse your log.

Doris, your work is stunning as always! The improved crowns just show your determination to make this model as perfect as possible. Always a joy to look at your build log and progress!

[druxey]

You exceeded yourself with the improved crowns and other detail work, Doris. Terrific! Dobri.

[Sjors]

Now I know it for sure…..

You are not from this world!

Excellent work!

We don't here from you for a while and then….there she is with even more WOW factor building!

Thanks Doris

Hi Doris,

 

I somehow missed your return. I am a huge fan of your beautiful work. The standard of your sculpted figures and decorations is simply amazing. Thanks for sharing your work with the rest of us.

Hi Doris. Your R.C. is like a piece of jewelry with more and more diamonds added daily. Beautiful!

Hi Doris -

 

Your talent and artistry leave me breathless.  The crowns, the carvings, the figures set a standard that I doubt that I will ever reach.  Wonderful use of color and texture.  I will continue to be a devoted follower of your build.  Thank you for sharing.

 

I have one suggestion, if I may - the pumps as drawn on the plans would interfere with both the cabin doors and the stairways, once you install them.  You might consider rotating them 45 degrees forward, which was not uncommon in the era.  This clears both access paths and also gives the sailor working the pump a larger space, possibly enough for two men on the handle at one time if needed.  I may be wrong, so feel free to ignore this idea.

Hello everybody,

 

I had contact with Doris about an article for the Model Ship Builder Journal.

 

She just let me know that she will be away for a couple of weeks, maybe without internet connection.

She sends her greetings to you all. She is looking forward to returning.

 

Take care,

 

Anja

Very, very interesting. I just discovered this blog and since paper modeling and the Royal Caroline have my interest I'm more than average interested.

[druxey]

Terrific. Those 'improved' crowns are outstanding.

Hello dear friends,

thank you very much for your comments and kind words, I am pleased and appreciate your favor a lot.

Please, excuse my absence, I have remembered you a lot and looked forward to returning. Now I continue with modeling, not only with Royal Caroline, but also with another ship - Royal William (a scratch build from card). http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=65285&p=1472555#p1471636

 

And moreover I am making some plastic models of sport cars.http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=76469&start=45#p1465823

I have changed some parts and colours on Royal Caroline to achieve more realistic result.Tomorrow I will bring new pics and description.

I would need more time for everything, but during summer holidays it could be better (maybe).

Kind regards

Doris

Hi Doris,

 

I can watch this for hours and hours…….

Really amazing and beautiful again

This is a pleasure for the eye.

I'm a Commodore now but when I see this i'm a rookie 

 

[DORIS]

Thank you Janos and Sjors for your kind words!

And here are other pics, where you can see anew gilded decoration, I suppose now it looks better. Some parts were added on keel (for example horseshoe).
