Cutty Sark by Nenad

[baskerbosse]

Many interesting details!
I never noticed the wooden hook to keep the sheets out of the water before.

Monkey face, -excellent name, just what it looks like!
 

I noticed with regards to the monkey face plates that the Cutty Sark museum rigs them with the reef tackle holding them outwards.
(Something that I don't think I have ever seen on models of the Cutty Sark)

It's a place to keep all the lines connected that otherwise would have been made fast to the sail. Instead of downrigging everything and not having reefing tackles, bunts, clews etc struck below, they fasten them to the monkey face plate and call it a day.

i just watch your video Nenad  and yes you did a great job ! 

[NenadM]

Hmmm... pretty nervous week from unknown reason, with rain, rain, rain ... and 100% humidity in air ... not usual in this area

 

 

 

Just wow, Nenad.   She looks wonderful.    This video captures her perfectly.

 

Thx Mark. With Phone camera it is pretty good. Some details ( rivets on "cooper" plates) are not captured well. Only 5MP camera

Hi Nenad

Thats what we see, you really did the best!

Much rain will only mean, there will be a bit more of Yucca to extinct ......................

You should chant like they did it in 1969 in Woodstock "No Rain No Rain....."

My yucca-war was succesfull ( for now). But grass ... this season grass grows rapidly every time when I look at it in yard !

 

Rather this song:

 

 

Somewhere in the past, I found led Zeppelin musical notation for first five albums, and enjoyed very much playing my el. guitar, acoustic guitar and 12-wire guitar, particular this song. ( and of course, Stairway to Heaven, and Babe I`m gonna leave you  etc etc)

Arrogant grass you have, at least mine waits until I turn my back. If mine flaunted it's independence so flagrantly, there might be a Monsanto Round Up.

Having grown up on a Ranch about 18 miles from the Pendleton Round Up, the words round up create an image for me of a rough sport as well as a herbicide.

Lovely work Nenad and a great touch with that video.

 

Cheers,

[NenadM]

Thanks Jud. I hope there will not be need for herbicide. Quite enough we eat every day in food, even we do not want, aren't we?

 

Thx Piet. I faced with resolution issue ... 15 sec video clip recorded in HD resolution has more than 200MB. Tonight I made two more clips with details, but just had no patience to wait for them to upload to YT, even watching second time how Daeneris burned Mastet's ships ....

 

So, only photos of tonight progres

Oh yes, that deck shot is just marvelous, simply marvelous.  Dead-eyes lined up nicely and the deck looks weathered, great job Nenad.

[cog]

Nenad,

 

Your soldiers are looking spiffy, and their parade ground looks immaculate, no need to get the last pieces of dirt out with a toothpick. A lovely job if I may say so

 

Cheers

[Gerhardvienna]

Hi Nenad

 

Great job, they look good! Can`t wait to see her masted and rigged...................

[popeye the sailor]

looking good Nenad..........I'm play'in catch up      nice video.......I didn't know you directed too;)    happy to see you overcame the dead eye issue.

Thank you Piet. If you can remember, there were many experiments finding color for deck. Now, even deck is dirty, and even there are traces on of color dust and garbage on bulwarks, when railings and ( almost all) dead eyes are on place and colored, when inner bulwark content is on place and colored, it seems I hit my goal. It will look more better when I finish dead-eyes, clean deck and start with color correction

Thanks Carl. Looking at Her deck with my new magnyfier, I was open-mounted with amount of collected dust. Add to this garbage from holes I drilled for dead eye holders, and you can get complete dirty picture ... which leads me to serious thinking about way to keep her from dust when rigging time comes ... there are some ideas ... including to occupy Hothead`s room only for rigging purpose, with forbidden entry to everyone, particular to cat.

 

 

Hi Nenad

 

Great job, they look good! Can`t wait to see her masted and rigged...................

Thanks Gerhard. Patience please !. It is hard to work when  outside is 33 C with 100% humidity in air and subjective feeling as 39 C last two weeks and next couple of days ... Flat is acclimatized, but shipyard is not.

 

And when you jumped as donkey in downtown whole day in dark colored car without acclimatization, in Courts without it also (?) and if you had afternoon full of meetings, only glass of ... anything wet and cold and nirvana state can be applied successfully on me . To add that Hothead is at short visiting home,  and we are preparing for big weeding ceremony of my niece at Saturday with 400 guests, which, naturally means that -  when princess came home after work, there is chat chat chat chat until  ... I fall down sleeping in chair, and command break for today 

 

 

looking good Nenad..........I'm play'in catch up      nice video.......I didn't know you directed too;)    happy to see you overcame the dead eye issue.

 

Hello Denis. I noticed your relative absence, following your another logs and posts. Take your time and enjoy in life as much as you can. All builds can wait, life can not 

[cog]

Nenad,

 

You could setup a vacuum cleaner which sucks all the dust particles away while you are working on the rigging ... or a compressor to blow it away before, during, and after your work session. Another option: just have a few ants run around with holy stones and water to scrub the deck   

 

Cheers

I have to manipulate and improvise - we have two vacuum cleaners in house - one, more than old, cheep and weak - Chinese no name, which works on principle - what gets in, that exactly gets out. I do not know why till now I did not retire it. Another is - real beast - and too strong - "Rainbow",  which I bought with all accessories to Admiral for cca 2000€ in one of my moments of madness. But, I`ll figure out something 

[Gerhardvienna]

Hi Nenad

 

Poor man! This is more than one can take alone. 400 guests, 30plus degrees, no acclimatisation, I can feel your pain. But we have hot weather too today, I`m too lazy to do almost anything. Should cool down on sunday I hope the best for that! Have a nice wedding, friend!

 

Regards

Gerhard

[mtaylor]

Have a nice wedding, Nenad.  You are right about life not waiting. Her Majesty is patient...  

 

Been there still myself, fighting with life for time in the shop lately.  

[cog]

Enjoy your day at the wedding Nenad!! Wish them a happy and prosperous life from me!!!

Shipyard temporary changed with "kitchen-yard"

 

Hothead's theme for his project and model architecture exame is - school building. Everybody other starts with traditional basic cube form adding details. But him ... no ... why it can be simple when it can be complex ... he started with flower form dressed in glass ... real soon of his father

Hi Nenad

 

Sounds typical, but also very interesting! I'd love to see the 'flower school' when it's fully assembled.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

[cog]

Nenad,

 

We say like father, like son. It seems to work on your family too. Why the easy way if it can be complex. Why accept a minor less perfect part, when it can be perfect ... You should enjoy the time with your son, it will make your bond the stronger. As Patrick wrote: "I'd love to see the 'flower school' when it's fully assembled" wish him success with it!!

 

A pity princess is somewhat inflexible ... well, at least she can go to the beach. By the way, did she needed the kitchen table to make you all dinner
