DORIS Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share #602 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Dear friends,I am extremely pleased and honored that you like my work. I appreciate your support a lot.Thank you all very much for your kind words. There is still much to learn and improve in my work. But mainly I build models for a joy and also education - I like to raise knowledge about history and construction of real ships.I will continue to build models so that my work was worthy of your words.To all: I often watch your beautiful work and find plenty of a great inspiration. That helps me a lot and brings pleasure and joy, when I can see, how wonderful things you are able to create. I am blessed to be here together with you. Not only am I struggling to keep up with your updates Doris,I am struggling to find something original to say. I have seen a lot of beautiful models in my time,but this would have to rank as one of the top ones.I think the combination of your massive talent and the fact that Royal Caroline is such a beautiful vessel make an unbeatable combination Kind Regards Nigel Oh yes, the beauty of real Royal Caroline was the main reason, why I chose the RC as a template for my model. Our ancestors were able to build amazing things. I don't have a name for it: they say there's a reflection 'tween modeler and selection of the ship they wish to portray so this ship built by hands guided by envisioned commands and leaves us with nothing to say neither wood nor plastic it looks so fantastic I find it hard to convey so I write you this prose I can't hand you a rose "museum".....is all I can say That´s really adorable, your beautiful verses make me happy and caress my soul. I am very grateful. Soon I will bring more pics, how the work on RC continues. Now I am modelling other crew members and there are plenty of work with them. Some details are improved or added gradually on the model, for example iron rings under the main channel or pale wooden center in all front "pins" ( i do not know accurate name in English ) for tying ropes.

DORIS Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share #607 Posted March 20, 2014 Dear friends,thank you very much for your support and kind comments, that´s a great pleasure for me.I will make every effort to make you liked the "crew in action".Few days ago I have started modelling first two men - a lieutenant and a young sailor, who will work with a tackle on the right side of cannon. Now they are ready on the board. Soon I will make other sailors and add tackles at cannons.

DORIS Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #615 Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Hello dear friends,thank you very much for you kind words, comments and support, that is a great honor and pleasure for me.It is also a challenge for me to keep up my work to be worthy of your praise. I believe that it is always possible to make things better. For example I have improved some details on the figures (I adapted the feet or changed the shape of officer´s hat .....). Doris , Realy excellent working. I have a question. Wlere did you get crews The crew is hand made from clay/sculpey by my own, all figures are made exactly and in a scale, how I need. Doris, I want to order 300 people from you for my Aggy And I want one Horatio Nelson...... No rush but please be finished before I finished my Aggy ? Great job again ! Wow, only 300 men? Oh, I understand - the others will be hidden inside of the ship, right? *********** During the weekend I finished another seaman and also tackles at one of the cannons. I tried to capture the moment, when both seamen are waiting to the lieutenant command to manipulate the cannon. Here are some pics so please enjoy them.

DORIS Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #618 Posted March 24, 2014 Dear Sjors,I know, you are making fun of me....Creating crew members in this amount would take several years of difficult work. But one Nelson maybe could be possible. I usually make one figure about 1-2 days.I love watching your beautiful work on wooden models, it is a great inspiration and pleasure for me.In April I am going to start other projects - IJN Yamato 1:350 and then USS Missouri also in 1:350 scale ( Tamiya manufacturer). And there I will use some photoetched parts , crew members included.

DORIS Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share #628 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Dear friends,your words mean a lot for me and I appreciate your praise and comments very much. I warmly thank you! Doris if you make one Nelson spend a week on it and it will be your crowning masterpiece for this model.David B Um... Nelson wasn't even born until 1758. Beautiful work as usual, Doris! Well, on the model there will be about 15 crew members from the mid -18th century. The figure of Nelson could be possible only as a very young child, but I do not plan to create him for Royal Caroline. I only answered Sjors. Doris - You are really bringing your work to life with your figures. Bravo . . . I echo everyone else's respect for your work. Please can you tell me where you found the hooks for your train tackle?

Hello Doris,I think my crew is on the wrong ship. What do you think?I should keelhaul those guysvery very good as allways. I wish i can do this too Hello Robert,I have an idea - some of my crew members could visit your beautiful ship, maybe we will meet on the sea one day... This is not just a ship model but a diorama in the making, perhaps just putting it in a case might not be enough! perhaps next to a dock and warehouse with several boats tied up alongside the dock and the ship? You are the one that could pull it off! Maybe in the future, but for diorama I need larger space. Now I have only one room, where I keep all models protected against dust and air humidity. Doris, What to say that has not been said...simply stunning, your little folk look really great, did you say you were doing 300 of these guys!!! 300 figures of men - but not for my model. It would be mission impossible for me. I am going to create only 15 figures for Royal Caroline. Doris, not only are your figures nicely proportioned but your skill painting them is also excellent, they really do bring another dimension to your work. Michael Oh yes, dear Michael, the figures bring better imagination about real size of the ship and I also try to create more authentic clothes of the crew from 18th century. ************************ Here are some larger and actual pics of Royal Caroline: Kind regards Doris Edited March 25, 2014 by Chuck md1400cs, mij, reklein and 23 others 26 Quote Doris Current build: HMS Royal Katherine 1664 from card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
