Beautifull figures like yours let me guess, that there must be a pretty original.

You are so kind to me, but I have to say, that I am normal woman.

Most Kind regards

Hello Doris

Your work is unreal, colossal, incomprehensible. I can not find more words.....

Greetings Hubert

It's simply stunning work, don't know what can I add to former comments. Have followed you build on MSW since it's begin, and now enjoying them here. WOW!

Alexander

Dear friends,
thank you for all your comments, your words mean a lot for me and are most appreciated.
I also thank you very much for the great inspiration that you bring in your building logs/threads, I browse the pics and tutorials with a pleasure and can learn new things.

The work on Caroline continued with main cabin, where I finished all side windows.
Glass sheets are made of a clear DVD or CD pad. Window frames are made of paper and glued precisely on both sides of the glass (the glass is put without bonding).




I have started with interior of main cabin, I made a base of wall panels (combination of paper and wooden look foils).
Soon I am going to start with decoration of the hull, so there are added roofs above quarter galleries.

The work continues with decoration in the main cabin and preparation the hull for decoration/sculpting.
There is added first decorative strip made of modeling clay and wooden hems.







Assembling the window frames and decorative strips

Now the hull is ready for sculpting and I have to say, that I am looking forward to this phase from the beginning of the build. That is the main reason, why I have choosen Royal Caroline yacht.

Other pics




I have just begun to work on the decoration, shape the strips from modeling clay (so far only for the port) and also improve some details at the model to reach more authentic look of the original. To convert 2D images into 3D model decorations and sculptures I will proceed according to various materials and pics, for example according to the Dutch yacht Utrecht:

At the stern I improved edges of decorative columns, now they are gilded, which should be more authentic with the decoration on the royal yacht:




Decorative moldings on the port:

Technology how to make these moldings from modeling clay

Preparation - first I make a thin roller. The best tool for this job is a finger and smooth paper, it is necessary to roll modeling clay very gently .... Thickness of this roller is approximately 1.5 mm for these ornaments.




Carefully transfer onto the wax paper, where the roller remains stick.




Immediately it starts making patterns, I use various tools (tweezers, pens, micro pencil ets.), until the modeling clay is soft and shapeable.


The edges should be slightly flattened - flat surface of tweezers usually helps:





And further pattern, this time using the tip of pencil:



Finished, now the decorations go to the oven...



It is very important to keep tools as cool as possible, otherwise the modeling clay is sticky to them. I let the tools soaked in ice water all the time.

I finished gilded moldings on the starboard and bow and now I am going to make decoration beside the windows.

Here you can see tutorial, how I created the decoration beside the windows:

Everything is assembled from thin rollers. The modeling clay was rolled again by my finger on a smooth paper.


I used tweezers to shape bottom side of the ornament. After that the modeling clay was gently transferred onto wax paper where I continued to shape the ornament.

I shaped top of the ornament again using the tweezers and prepared another roller - much thinner than the original. I carefully glued it into place with tweezers and remove overlaps. Bonding areas were smoothed by a tip of pen.

On all these ornaments are added tiny beads, which I shaped between my fingers (size of the beads is from 0.5 to 1.5 mm). Using tweezers I placed them onto ornament and slightly improved their shape.


All 12 ornaments completed and ready for baking:


After baking the ornaments were gilded, and later placed into model and improved by patina.

I have started to make decoration for a quarter gallery; two angels and an eagle are ready for baking....





Here is the decoration for left quarter gallery almost finished. I was glad that everything fits accurately.
