ROYAL CAROLINE 1749 by Doris - 1:40 - CARD


Recommended Posts

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.

 

Regards,

John

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 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.

Building: San Felipe

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). B)

Kind regards

Doris

Hello dear friends,

Thank you very much for your comments. And also thank Anja and Sjors  for congratulations . Your words mean a lot to me.

 

 

What´s new on Royal Caroline.... Today i am bringing newest pics, there are finished some details on the fore deck (belfry and other fitting with belaying pins). All is hand made (except the bell) without using special tools.
