Thanks a lot for encouraging comments folks. Rich knows my tendency of flying away sometimes , so i have to Keep trying harder to stay as true AS possible... i continue experimentnting and finding a new ways of how to build with really small things... I Don have proper tools and miniatures files. But i Guess i Will have to INVEST into some as im already tried of Using toothsticks tips rounder with sanding paper. But IT Works anyway ! So probably i Will Stick with IT

Flush with hull now....

Some railing details..

Flush with hull now....
-
I guessil i figured it put. Im sanding them spillways thinnest possible almost flush with hull just o they are know there there. Better now?
-
Rich I will try to make them paper thin so they look flush with hull . will be truer.
-
Thanks Rich, its no problém at All...Well here we come to modeling thing I cant do it proper way meaning let those inside. First, planks around are just 1 mm wide glued over stanchions. I would destroy Boat. And second, i could have just mimic those cutting bizzare thin line over planks. That would be probably truer as those are flush with bulwarks... But i decided those to be Seen Also with hinges as they are pictured even in books etc. I could have Made them with paper or so... Its not wrecking enegance ofvline fór me, speaking those Will be náreky visible as painted black. So Stuck inside would be not visible ať All - but IT IS not doable on my Boat. Strakes around are thinnest i have on Boat. Even Motoring holes šéfe pain to drill not to break those little strakes as i had to undergo with tape fór protection . ... i did macro shot so IT looks way thicker than from half meter..anyway thanks for input Rich - as always ! ! I will try to think it over again if better to scrape those and leave clean ride of the wales or leave them as they are.... .V.

....its raining again, so Down in Boston yard its being Worked hard :)))
-
Amazing. now i can see how those are being made. watching all masting will be godsend to me. so excited. by the way your chalnnels grooves are cleaner than mine ! oh i have to make mooring holes.
-
Here we are:)) I like the channels Rob, that you were able to make groove. seems you made them similarly as i did from 2 thin plates V.
-
Thank you Rob, I calcualted channel size from our given photographs, simply by comparing distance between main and mizzen of photo and compared from there length of channel - starting from mast and calculated scale ratio. im not sure nowvi will measure it tomorrow. they are about 13 centimeters, mizzen being smaller - around 10 cm. im glad you fancy those stanchions. those are just upper parts of some bigger rails i had in plenty for cutty sark and I cut off from those to make this pattern. yes i pinned them there was hole so i glued wire into it and predrilled hole to the rail so i could srick it and glue. I must say i would rather love stanchions fully deepened into rail properly, it would be just more authentic and better but those should be at least similar to original pattern....its little fakey this way but im glad overall. top of that stanchions is to be made.. v.
-
Finally i moved on after some time. Here IS the progress. Few Minor discrepancies from original to more heqdache to nitpickers :)) , Columns, but what i have ať home. Its easiest thing to swap any year.... But to ease their minds - :))) At least fancyrail IS solid All throughout now :)) . IT was pain to do.... Making nameboards myself now, so no laser on those. Now to make catheads and She IS ready to take a coat..thank you for watching... V.

Rob i mistakenly posted Updates to your Topic. Sorry for that deleted.

Rich its worth to print out and get it framed. ! i would put one one the wall.

no worries Folks, i know myself i rather dont work when I feel i have enough or i dont feel enjoyment of it. When there is something to post i will but its clear that i wanted to complete hull in one pace of intensive work which was done so i will be slow from now on. if not i would have worked on itfor months. its also clear there is muxh more tedious work by nature of built process i follow and size as Rob has to endure so im not trying to keep with Rob in any means. things are moving on slower or faster depends on mood. i will have less time now sure. but everythings fine yes painting and copper plates, and stern decorative rail will be what i will try to finish up to end of year.
-
Thanks Rich. much apreciated. im noway near to 3 D printing her. id have to 3d draw her first myself - i would not pay for it. looks likeley in winter time when i have more time sitting behind pc.
-
Joy to watch Rob. im going to do as you wrote. small bits and goals. step by step. V.
-
Rob thanks for your opinion. it helped down the road. Well if its solid all the way down i ll do it. i started preparing some other works but i forgot few. I seriously think i will not mast or rig her, only hint of mast sticking in. at this scale its hust enormous amount of work and time. maybe after few years. what i want to accomplish is focus on building and those upper rail detailings etc.... and im looking forward to put color on her...and plating. ...

Dear Folks i decided to postpone figurehead. as chaotic as I am, i maek sure your effort to help wont wane as I will return to it rpetty much all the time, but i do t want any result shorter of spectacular, so i decided opposite route. - to make or have madevinstall figurehead last. i decided to pain boat forst and install laser cut bow ornamentals , nameboard, paint waterway ...i contacted my laser guy and i am sure you will much love this chapter . something about painting. im going to apoly thin coat of dark liberon shellac on her to keep or prevent raising of grain as much as possible and over the top i will apply fiebing black leather Dye for balc kcoat. ´aybe some wax on the top. i believe all moldings are black as well at this point only top cover of fancy rail is white. Rich is entire sheerline white on 1869 ? or even golden? Thank you very much for that. i have to istall first those rails holding rope blocks ... going to it. V.

I am anxious and hesitant to start Rob. Im not convinced i have ability. i envy your work with even smaller outcome. I basically think myself it is soo small it should be done properly drawn in 3D program and 3 D printed as most of figureheads of this scale are made in boxwood these days. i personal y think it is torture at least to make viable form of her but there cannot be word about detailing. atm i holding in hand revell cutty sark in 1:96 scale. i can tell it is such small that i am about t osay there is almost no piint making it. i would say apyour outcome is far better in this respect. i will still play just for the fun. but shat i want is detailed figurehead which i will proably at the end end up drawing in 3 D program a d have printed as 3 D object. i was even playing with buying snd modifying some resin greek goddess...but they are atill way way bigger....i dont wa t to elt you down Rob but please dont expect anything plausible from me. im not up to it. however i like Richs drawing as there is pretty much everything it should be in such small scale figurehead. not more details ...V.
