    Hello to all I was quite for a while, and I will be quite for a while and I am not happy with this Several reasons Day is too short, office works grows, kids are both home and we try to spend as much more time together as we can do, until they go to their lifes Rhea The OES needs her time, and at last my social life also needs a time my homeyard needs time, homeworks also needs time, and I am one and only without idea how to multiplicate myself ... So, any idea how to extend the day ? I hope to make some progres during summer vacations Thousand times I went to shipyard to see is everything down there ok, and to realise I have no time for this except 15 min here and there which is not valuable to start anything serious I hope I will be in situation to post something worth those days All the best to all of you !

    Still here, but ... At first, Hothead occupied my work space in his hard decision to repair my 30 years old hand axe ... At second, I tried how sharp is kitchen knife ... Noting serious, I avoid sewing, little but deep wound on inconvenient place of hand, and just remember that Princess is doctor, and she strongly banned me from any wet and dirty job couple of days ...

    If you are intrested, you can see what is my inspiration, looking on Google for serbian painters from painter movement MEDIALA (similar as Salvador Dali), particulary world famous painters: Vladimir Velickovic, Dado Djuric, Ljuba Popovic, Olja Ivanjicki, Milic od Macve etc etc Just for example

    Yeah, Denis ... except I am complete incompetent and fully idiot to learn to draw and to paint any living being ... I tried it and it was - hilarious funny - my rabbit look like horse, my bear looks like a cat etc etc and I gave up long time ago. Free forms and some imaginary creatures with eventualy nice folded colors, that is all

    Thanks for nice words. Right now I am in the middle of antibiotic therapy - drops for eyes in four hours interval, and it does not look clever to go to workshop to hang out with dust. But, from time to time I get my regular attack of creativity, and just must do something with my hands, and of course, washing dishes is not quite creative toward my needs You, my friends, certainly know what is the best therapy for insane people ? See you soon with "piece of art" finished, or with two left boats

    Waiting for full recovery, dropping antibiotic in my eye, I try not to expose it to dust, so, Her Najesty has to wait to the my next medical control. In mean time, another hobby is active Acrylic paints, experimenting with their transparency

  12. NenadM
    Just right, Mark! Little break with another hobby

    Helou, LOU amd wellcome to my long and strolling journey. I watch your work and learn. No, this is not Sergal. I started with Croatian TEHNODIDAKTA plans (parts from kit were too much old and mainly unusable) almost 40 years old, used only for ribs and for making mistakes, and at the very beggining of build, I found Campbell`s plans, resized them to scale of TEHNODIDAKTA plans ... and then ... started with many reconstructions to evaporate mistakes as much is possible, so, almost 100% of my build is scratch building. Some major mistakes just can not be covered, so I decided to overdetail my model,l and to make elements with all details I am able to make in this scale from two reasons - to drawn attention from mistakes, and - it is fun! In this stage of my build, I have not idea jet about any rope I will use. For now, it is almost sure that I will make my own ropes, and seems that I will look at photos and try to recognize approximate diameter of any singular rope, if it is possible, or smallest possible I can make/bye. E.g. as on next picture you can see: Diameter of the thinest rope is about 5-7 mm ... in scale 1:100, it means ... 0,05-0,07 mmm ... so if diameter of human hair is 0,02-0,04mm - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, and even it is possible, IT WILL BE INVISIBLE. Similar question appears on another details as diameter of deadeyes etc etc. Obviously, some approximation are necessary ... I think that answer is somewhere in the arthistic approach - how will line of such a diameter looks like on your model? Just visual testing. I can not see any other answer. All the best, and keep on good work

    Hahaha !!! Google translate is obviously ... Let's say ... on something ... 😂😂😂

    Left side of one life boat - done More precise, less clean Why nobody tell me that my fingers had to be absolutely clean? #!?##$* Ok, there will be some white acrylic over Testing with paper strips a bit wider Less than 1mm in my oppinion can not be visible Pretty satisfied
  16. NenadM
    Thanx Piet for nice words. You know, human brain is ... let`s say ... strange thing. At the same time you force yourself to broke own limits, and then you start thinking - is it worth, considering all another more atractive details on decks, and all future sails and ropes which will visually cover boats almost at all. Fun, anyhow ... Thank you Tim. Even in a dream I could not imagine that my work can be usefull for anybody. Hmm ... it seems I climbed some steps upon learning curve. Or upon stubborn curve Sometimes stubborness and abstinacy are the way of learning

    I hope this photo can help about gratting About planking - you are captain of your model, and it depends how you see it finished. Personaly, I think that there just have to be planking, but if you decide to do this, pay your attention to scale of planks and their width if you can. And then, question - will it be visible at all ? is it worth? Your choice. Take care and keep on working

    Thanks Patrick, Piet and Mark. Shipmodeler law No ... it always seem that piece you just have done, can be done better, more precisely and neatly, particulary when you use enlarged/zoom mode on good camera.

    wow, wow, wooow !!!!

    Lifeboats, next step

    Something simillar ... When she arrives (8 weeks old) it was very cold outside, so I broke my own rules, and let her live into house. She was fast learner and she get her hygienic habits quickly, so I decided here to stay with us all day. But, with some rules and regulations - she can not eat from our table, she can not sleep with me in my bed, she can not sit on chairs and couch in living room etc etc. But ... week ago, after returning her from cutting her hear, she was so sweet and charming and cuddle so nice, so I can not resist to let her climb on me when I am on chair. Only once. And here is her really happy face. She perfectly understand what was happening, that she was allowed to do something which is not allowed, and it was fabulous looking changes on her face at the proces of climbing and after that ...

    Hmmm I'll rethink about... In mean time, life boat are ready for planking My helper take a nap

    Yesterday I visitied my doctor who will do surgery. On left eye, cataracta causes 40% less funcionality in less than a year. I noticed some troubles during driving car, particulary at night. Fortunately, it dosent matter any more, surgery is schedduled at the end of February. Good news are that at right eye there are only signs of possible cataracta, and that on both eyes macula and retina are absolutelly OK. Also I noticed fast eye fatique doing precise micro works, and some kind of difficulty to get focus under magnifier. Without magnifier boats just can not be done. I plan for next days to start working on two lifeboats, but ... it seems I am on mistake-way again. I was seduced with idea for boats to look good with enterior ... and this has great impact to construction of boat folders Look at those photos Life boats are turned as they stay in wather, and Jolly boat is turned upside down. Jolly Boat is turned upside down, and I made my Jolly Boat to stand in regular position, so all my work could not be visible! See C-plans also Copnsidering Captains Gig there is different situation on her Majesty torady and on C-plans Was it possible that crew can turn any boat in the way it was needed? Can it be that this detail of holder is mobile and customizable ? I do not think so. Or it is. Look at this little hinges, what is their purpose? Obviously to let crew to switch holder aside if it is needed. So, truth will be somewhere between Captains Gig will be positioned as on picture Jolly Boat will be turned to be visible Life boats will be turned as on C-plans and in CS, and covered with awning. Maybe one of them covered, another opened, maybe not. Still to think a bit Or to rethink whole thing again ? What do you, my friends think about this problem?
