    Storm again, and calm again. Temper stubborn defiance Little birds ( 23,25 years old) are up to come out of the nest that they became close, but not quite yet, and will strengthen the waving wings crumble around him. They and the Admiral must understand that the most important thing is to keep the entire nest. You do not have right to cut their wings, but you at the same time can not let them break things in the nest. Unfortunately, there is no mathematical answer to this questions. Is their puberty was more difficult? Then you had some force in your hand. Now, you still have some force ( money for instance) but using this force ( as a black mail) can ruin the nest. I have no idea and answer. Nobody can During the period of silence, exile in the shipyard, and little progress Today I chose to listen music of Paganini, JS Bach and G.Verdi First I spent 2-3 hours to make tweak tool for drilling holes for white panels, but I was not impressed by result, and hit all away Holes must be more narrow to seem to be in scale Lets try on another way Then look carefully what tools I have got with Dremel, and got an idea to try milling And here is semi-final bulwark. Holes must be deeper, and injection of panels is waiting . Because of lighting conditions in shipyard Colour on last photo is not shown accurate, real colour is almost identical to the original paint on CS Think this is more in scale And sure better than this

    Thanks Bob and Pavel, your support is very significant to me Yesterday was a very hard day, started day ago with serious family fight with kids that continues yesterday with knot in the stomach from early morning. And in the morning knot grows to sky. In office, reading morning mail, I found that one client was hiding from me key facts of his case whole three years (?!?!?!) and that facts lead him directly to the jail (he sold his apartment, but after the sale, he concluded two contracts for the gift of that same apartment), and had not told me any word about that, and yesterday the opposing party makes clear that she is aware of, which reflects with immediate termination of power of attorney, and very very very unpleasant conversation with client after that. That was not the end. After that I had really hard two hours meeting with investors and builders of one factory in resolving property issues. And coming back home, I needed all my strenght for family diplomacy to resolve damage and collateral of family war, and Admirals strike. I spent tone of nervs about that from early morning, and really relax in the evening when armistice was finally signed Really is not boring At 23:00 felt in bed as fallen tree, and could not sleep for a while until 02:00. Yep, in the 08:00 in office, with hope to go to the shipyard soon

    Little progress . Two working hours and rear bulwark thined and mounted (without top rail). Four horizontal layers of different wood Next, bulwark with white panels, not in the way I have done before, but similar ...
  7. NenadM
    I think that will be OK I like it, really Nice little beasts.

    Bob Last time I made panels, there were in separated pieces, and lined one to another formed bulwark. That bulwark was "little" drunk ... Now, I go by your steps, and make a bulwark with panels (from forecastle to near a half of poop deck) BTW - light disorting was succesfull
  9. NenadM
    Bob, I tried this, and this is what happen With moldings 50cm long 5mm wide, when I ( without previous disort) during glueing disort them even lightly in this direction internal forces in molding disort them in this direction in the midle And having in mind that I intend to glue pillars between panels, I am afraid that them will be de-glued if I disort molding after makeing panels With previous disort I want to try to avoid that as much as possible PS Nenad, you are in office, go work your job !!!!

    Bob, I think that you will run into problem to wrap the wire corectly around deadeyes. How do you plan to do this ? About that problem, my thoughts go in next way We do not have so much space between deadeye and nailholder, and that deadeyes are pretty small (maximum 4-5mm on diameter in my scale). When you have done rings, it will be pitty not to do this Will I still be guilty as charged ?

    Bob, I understand. I hesitate sitcoms and soap-operas, but ... have read some serious historical books about Ottoman empire, and sometimes almost enjoy to look with Admiral some episode of "Suleiman the Magnificent" Turkish soap Pavel I hesitate winter and cold weather with wind. But, snow with sun is something different. I prefer early spring when everything rise up. Also dont like very hot weather when air conditioning is necessary Yesterday I made my first try to get wet some moldings with intention to light distort them for future bulwark with white panels. Wish me luck with that. Also preparing to start making rear bulwark. Nothing valuable to show for now. Perheaps tomorrow ...

    Very long time I banged my head around this problem, and it's one (not only) of the reasons why I was doing a facing of small pieces of balsa. At the entrance to the bow, the end of which sits in front of the bow I thinned and accurately align with the other line that I drew earlier. The rest is solved puttying In a picture attached to post #33 and #73 in my log, you can see some idiotic solution from original plan I have for lineing. I remove it, add extra rib where must be, and slowly proceed to stage shown in picture attached to post #80 Something like that And here is result, very good in my opinion With long strips, it is almost impossible to catch right point at the bow and at the same time at the stern (curvature, longitudinal and $#!&%# ... ) Maybe to apply deep surgery: Cut moldings to the first rib of the bow/stern and try this ???

    Bob It is difficult to make a frog in water ... Movie ... a good one ?

    Not everywhere, Spencer. I live in my house in suburb part of Belgrade (20 km from downtown), all in private houses, and Admiral and me love greenery and force it. In neighbourhood is empty vacant derelict yard with a lot of grass wattle and trees, and it fits me very well, since I have a feeling like I'm living in the forest. Imagine: 21h at the evening, sitting in terrace with glass of red wine, relaxing ... complete nirvana .... and you hear ... nothing except birds, dogs eventually some stray car. You do not need any sedative. The best : even my office is in downtown, it takes me about 25 minutes from entering a garage to park car in front of office. In office, when window is open I can not speak over phone (to much noise) Although I am a "child of asphalt", and was born in the center of downtown, I would not go back there to live ever Living in flat in downtown, it is nearly impossible and very exspencive to have a garrage and work space for hobby

    Even I am so far from boats, in my kit I got some ugly plastic stuff. I think I will make them from zero all wooden. we ll see. But, dont listen to me, my ideas are contagious ( ask Bob if you dont believe)

    Bob Today I finished my "creative inprisonment work" with heavy marble slabs in the garden, dont feel my hands anymore, and I am so tired for shipyard, even I did not go to my exercises (something with elements of Tai-chi, Aikido and Yoga, not for fighting. When I was young, I practiced Aikido, and this exercises are very appropriate and pleasant for me) So, slumber watching TV and have enough time today and tomorrow to think carefully about next step to avoid some mistakes .... Tomorrow, garden work is also waiting for me. In the basement I made complete chaos, and Admiral forced me to clean it up ( Why ? She is afraid to enter without me ?). As usually. she is right in her demand ( it is impossible to enter the basement ...working around the fountain, I just stuffing things inside and slipping out of order. As already deep autumn, today I added into a garden table and a chairs, and just then Admiral ask for some flowerpot from the basement. Why are they almost always right ?). And at the evening we will go to in town to see some friends, so Her Majesty CS can rest from me. But, my head works permanently about next step For now, I think it will be : bulwarks on rear deck, bulwark with white panels, top rails, and then return to hull. Re-planking, stanchions, nail and dead-eye holders, water-ways must wait for a while. If I do not change my mind in mean time.

    Brand new rear deck And future batten under rear bulwark is here Edit at August 28th 2015 - Important notice On this stage, it is very important to think about places-holes for dead-eyes on aft deck, maybe now is time to drill a holes from them. After mounting bulwark, this will be a ... hmm... devil work. See later post http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2501-cutty-sark-by-nenad-tehnodidakta-scratched-campbells-plans/page-124#entry343697- very very narrow space to drill holes Keep in mind their position on aft deck floor rail

    Bob, do you plan this ? Will I be responsible again ? Dognut, this is not a race, this is fun and joy

    Comedy "CS by NM" act II part 4 (battle with mounain ) Popeye, as usualy you are right And here is synopsis for the comedy, with description what happened, and how I ll try to fix it Drawing is made in MSWORD and it is not accurate and it is not in scale, and situation is little better than shown In original TEHNODIDAKTA plans, bulwarks are to narrow to main deck , which reflect to low height of front and rear deck. To fix it, I made another front and rear deck and glue it over. With front deck, everything is OK , but with rear deck ... I made mistake ( not follow line of new bulwark) who reflected with MOUNTAIN. To fix it I put some narrow strips longitudinally at the middle, and at the same end of rear deck, and putty holes to assume proper line as it is shown on drawing, and it seems to be OK - except - now, I must correct stern line as it is shown with red line on drawing. Re-planking rear deck will follow. Happiness is that rear deck has lateral curvature which make much easier battle with the MOUNTAIN I ll put a picture when I finish fixing, and, Bob, I think I can live with it
  22. NenadM
    I agree

    Bob, take care of yourself. Autumn is a time for catch a cold. 10 C in the morning, 25-27 C in the noon, and 8-9 C in the evening. What to wear ? You can not go dressed in car everywhere. Tea, lemon, and again tea and lemon ( more than liter a day), and you will be brand new in a few days. I am scared of dentists (with my teeth, regular tooth extraction last 1-1,5 hours per tooth without action of anesthesia ?!?!?!?). Last time 5 teeth where extracted by surgery ... So "happy" news are: Removal of plaque from teeth (done) ----> digital panoramic pictute of all teeth left ----> treatment of periodontal disease -----> exstract the tooth or two (we ll see) -----> dental treatment of remaining teeth -----> prosthetics This will last and cost Half an our of sanding and putty yesterday with a lot of hmmmmmm... Looks like I'll be able to arrange things so that I can/must live with that ( as you said Bob)

    Believe or not, Spencer, in whole Belgrade there is no store with such a thing (near 2.000.000 residents, 1/4 of whole Serbia population). But there are some folks in Serbia you can order it from, by price about 50€ for 100 pieces There are different size of dead-eyes on CS (4,5,6 mm) , there are blocks too, and ... wait until ( I hope some day) I come to rigging, then I ll see
