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!

Congratulations on completion, Doris.  I have followed your build with great interest and admiration.  The finished model is a miniature gem, and the interior spaces are spectacular.

Be well

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:

Doris, I can't find words that accurately describe or praise your work, other than to say absolutely stunningly beautiful model! You have certainly outdone yourself on this one and can be very proud of your accomplishments! I look forward to your nest build!

This is beyond amazing and beautiful, Doris.  I think "exquisite" might be start.   Thank you for sharing the journey and the final result.   

 

Congratulations on the new job.  I hope it works out and you find happiness in your work.
