O ho ho!

Let's go!

Can I join? Peacefull, on some corner with good looking position?

Happy card modelling , Nenad !!!

Thx Michael

Having in mind that distance between ribs is only 5 mm, a bit approx. approach can be tolerate. I do not dare to dig out curve lines with this method for something larger than 7cm. In this scale it can pass. This days I will print drawing of ribs on selfadhesive paper and glue it to card from paper folder, cut and join as template for paper "planking"

Early morning, still sleepy, for now hust -Woow!

Lines of hull determined

Next step

A little bit forward

Redrawing C-plans in intention to determine where curves of boat`s hull goes

Rhea eats my daily (evening) free time I used for modeling. If I want Her to sleep over night, I have to play with her and to make Her very very tired before I go to sleep. So ...

But there is something ... On Saturday, in Belgrade will be Modelers competition I visit every year. Considering a lot of sponzors selling their products related to modeling will be there, I plan to bye a new cutting mat, and to try it, trying to make one boat from card/paper. That is someyhing I was thinking of those days. I can sit and work in kitchen with Her arround my legs. I do not allow Her to go down to my workshop, because near is Princess's cat closet, and unapropriate and forbiden dinner can be served, which I do not allow Her in any circumstances

Unbelive what I see...

Maybe this can be helpful ?

Wellcome to MSW, Terry

Also, wellcome to Cutty Sark fleet !

Good luck with your build. For now I can not help you,because I am still far from this stage of build, and I am not familiar with nautical terms. Also,some personal events temporary keep me out of my build. When I catch some time, I'll look on Campbell plans to see if there is something for you

This beauty must be finished!

Thanks for nice word. I am still here but occupied with so demanding 2 months old baby which eats my shoes and my free time

I hope you are well, my friend

There are a few of us at age 50+ in "non grown boys" group who ride motobike direct to surgery :D

I have learned my lesson four years ago, cutting my leg to bone... Do you?

Keep this beauty far from frogs ... or give her some gun

Great work!

I found 3 of 4 "plugs" which came with original Tehnodidakta kit...

It can not be used as plug

I have to make my own ... When Rhea give me my free time back

It's no need to remove posts, Jud

I just has no time for longer answer

This little doll obviously will keep me out of shipyard for a whille

A lot of work in office + a lot of work about her (if I do not want my home to stink...)

Rhea comes home!!!!

I think - prior, with no doubt

Thank you for your kind tips, gentleman !

But, I need a little precise explanation about using word "plug" in context 

Goggle translate is not useful for this !!!

The first attempt to determine the line of the ribs ... Playing in adobe illustrator

Length of this boat is only 7 cm 

My son, who knows all Cad and cad-like software, shows me how to, but I was not satisfied, so I put raster as first layer in Adobe Illustrator, and in next layers draw my own vector drawings over. Slow, but results are fine for me

Slug Tape

Cut to size and make a press to simulate nailing.

Search "slug tape copper repellent tape" on Amazon.

Self-adhesive paper

Also for simulating cooper sheating

And after march of 4000 pieces, playing with thin acrylic and mat lacquer looking for color of Muntz metal

Boats - preparing

I realized that there are 3 types of boats : Captain`s GIG, Jolly Boat, and two life boats, all three different in details

It could be interesting if anybody can explain their usage and names  (Jud ?)  

At first, I had to re-scale drawings from C-plans sheet No 3 where details of boats are drown by Mr.Campbell to scale " 1/4" to 1 feet" to my already re-scaled plans where at the sheet No 1 I have their dimensions at 100% zoom level  as on my model

" 1/4" to 1 feet" - completely incomprehensible for us who have learned the metric measurement system

Then I measured main dimensions and make a notes for myself, and here is what I have got in Adobe Illustrator

Little beasts !!!! I have a hunch it will wreck my nerves ...
