Beautiful first class work throughout, thank you for sharing. -
Gary, it's great to see you starting another build log and this has all the earmarks of another enjoyable FriedClams journey. A very informative introduction of history and setting, thank you.

Help in finding manual for Cutty Stark
Keith Black replied to Charles T's topic in New member Introductions
Charles, welcome to MSW. My deepest sympathies for the loss of your son. My son passed away a year ago next week, I know your pain. The below links are for the Cutty Sark model by Constructo with almost the same part number, in this case, con80838, scale 1:115. https://www.woodenmodelshipkit.com/?s=80838&post_type=product https://www.rocousa.com/Constructo_80838_1-115_Cutty_Sark_Kit -
What is/was the manufacture's name? I'm asking because I keep a mental list of things to look for while searching flea markets and websites and I'll gladly keep an eye open for you.

Absolutely gorgeous work, Eberhard. Is it possible that the shrouds were tightened with bottle screws particularly since wire cable was used?

Beautifully done, Siggi. Where was the wood for the fire stacked/kept? The hearth size looks like it would consume a lot of wood.

Very good, Scott. It's great to see you are continuing work on the restoration.

Putting them on eBay is your best chance but unfortunately eBay is currently awash in model ships. Or you could put them up for sale in Facebook Market Place, neither model is going to bring real money. Your friends memory would be best served by either keeping them both and displaying or offering them to mutual friends where they can display to honor his memory.

Pocojo, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

True beauty runs deep below the surface. I love my ole gal unconditionally, I wouldn't have her any other way than the way she is. I admire the tired beauty of Cangarda and what she represents. i'm sure that in time, with your help, I'll come to love her as mush as Germania.
-
Unfortunately she's gone to seed but her former glory is still present. Restoration cost could be as much as double the asking price. Someone with lots and lots of money needs to fall madly in love. Keith, will you model her as she is today or as she was when launched?

We owned a 58 TR3A so I was bit particular how my hair was parted.

Well that's a new one for bribing the kids to produce a grandchild.

Rob, thank you for the compliment. I considered gravity as the only means for the lantern's trip back to the deck but then I thought of those winter nights when the block and lines would have iced, maybe even froze and would have required a pull from a downhaul line to bring the lantern back down to the deck. If you note in Eberhard's first photo in post #787, at the base of the carrier there is an extended plate with a hole where a clevis would attach for the downhaul.......me thinks.

It would have died of ugliness before it died due to mechanical failure.

Pete, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Keith, I know its early (very early) on in this build but I know you're already thinking about the myriad of "how to's" and "what to do's". In your Germania build I remember your decision not to paint the Germania's hull. What are your thoughts regarding the Cangarda's hull?
-
I was transferring my experience with kerosene lamps with glass chimneys and Coleman lanterns to ship's lanterns with which I have no experience. My apologies for being wrong to do so. Okay, the middle eyes are there for the halyard adding another line of stability to keep lines and lantern from twisting.
