Cabin with capstan's bars - finished

All this is hobby and, under all, great fun, Jud. Speaking of axe ... this days I read exelent historical book about Vikings: The World of the Vikings by Arnulf Krause. and have read years ago some popular novels about them ( Tim Severin: Viking I and II, Bernard Cornwell: the last Kingdom series, etc etc) In popular history, beside long boats, first association for Vikings are their terrific axes, having in mind type of axe we have seen in LotR as Gimli weapon. Or famous Tyrion`s axe etc etc But, popular culture is one thing, and history is another, sometimes even a bit disappointing Real Viking axe, at first look are not much different form usual axes we use today to cut woods (Google picture search "Viking X century axe museum"). I do not put in question their skills with axes, but I was relative disappointed when found those pictures So, which axe do you suggest to me to use ? Maybe this one, made by Rolan Vlahovic, for his gold medal winner model at Kaliningrad 2016 ( Naviga)

"..History became legend. Legend became myth..." And again ... Unknown voice from silence: "Nenad, have you ever heared anything about measuring and checking measure?" "No, I don't" I answered "What is this for?" (Scary Devil's laugh in the back) "A-ha-ha-ha..."

I have idea to try it, Carl, but I could not . Buckets I made are glued, and I could not take them. And I do not like water on deck until I finished Her There is a great truth in your words, Patrick. I realized it when I started with details on hull, particularly when I started to fill fore deck Thanks, Marc Idea for tonight is to try to make capstan bars on port side cabin - eight of them on surface only 8-9 mm wide, which means that particular bar has to be not more than 0,5 mm in diameter And I have sent my working ants to Patrick, and they do not want to come back - saying, that work conditions are best, food is best, salary is best, model is more interesting, and works go faster :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy:

Nice baby She becomes!

Or ... wood, Cu wire 0,5 mm, Zn wire 0,3 mm, acrylic paint , mixed with two hours of patience First testing Against photo It could be a bit smaller toward cabin Bur I can live with it. Light underline pump structure First "super fragile" part made Strong enough, Carl

Urgently send you working ants !!!! And electron microscope (regular is not enough) Nenad

The preparation for a pump Hmmm ... ( again) Tiny, tiny, tiny Fragile, fragile, fragile

There are no frontiers for you, Nils !

Very nice. Looking with attention abd collecting your ideas. Please do not stop having ideas!

Marc Having in mind function of this net, I believe that net was present always when She was on sails, or ready to sail. We do not want to feed anybody with our sailors, or working ants, aren't we? Denis Portuguese re-rigged her, and I had not read anything of Her re-masting until Her return to London. Maybe somebody has additional knowledge about Her history Thanks Jud. It is obviously that there, as on any other sailing ship, there were many of, let's say "tool parts" with different more or less significant usage. When I was investigating outer contents of bulwarks, I found many different points with evidently purpose to tie something. Also, there is a huge number of rings on stanchions under main rail. I do not believe that anybody would put them there without any purpose. Long time passed, and only lads who sailed Her can know what for, any particular point can be used for at all. No progress those days, sometimes Nenad was just lazy, sometimes Nenad had to work in office, sometimes wanted to talk with kids. Hothead went to Novi Sad yesterday to have some exams, and a new (his last) school year starts in a few weeks.

Nice, nice, very very nice Go forward !

Mr. Sherlock and/or Dr.Watson in action. A few more old b/w photos with protective net on bowsprit. Ferriera state On next picture you can see specific, not usual way of rigging bowsprit ... And very very interesting b/w picture! All three boats from central cabin down, cranes mounted, and ... Look carefull direction of accomodation ladder. Final conclusion - one accomodation ladder for both sides. Also, there is something interesting abowe boat near bow ... And also, different design of front cabin - lower and wider My job trained me to watch and find details which are significant interesting and different

Thank you very much, Marc What do you think about idea to put pin-rails instead ladders, and to tie ladders along bulwark just beside "Heads" ? And, where this ladders are during saing? Not to forget - I am 99% sure that model with sails must have protective net under bowsprit!!!!

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome, Jud. Please keep on posting all your observations, comments, suggestions and thoughts

I also want to win Lotto! Even I do not play Lotto Whole my life I asked myself, how much one must have, to have those toy, to pay all expences of using it couple of weeks at year? What kind of bussines allow you that kind of life? If you have big bussines, you do not have enough time. And where is the point if you can not use this beauty min 6 months at year. Believe me, I am not envy, just do not understand ... same thing: Have a car paid 70-100.000 $ and scratch it on parking? Just another galaxy. Or I am an Alien

Last time when I have seen that kind of yaht was in Kotor, Montenegro ... I felt as I am a fly standing on shore beside ... Another world, another life

Jud, you are quite right. But ... why I always have some "but" ??? There are some unanswered questions I pointed somewhere in a deep of my log considering particular details on deck Let`s say on this way ( all this is about question - what details to include, and how to make it on this scale) 1. Pair of ladders which lead to fore deck There are not on C-plans C-plans show rounded pin-rails If I remember well, Bob (Rfolsom) Mark and couple of folks here were discussing about question - if there ladders when She was working ship, or ladders are pointed there when She was turned to museum. And, if there were pin-rails - which of lines ended there. We have not rich any answer. Probably I`ll put ladders there without rope net, because I do not know what that pin rails are for 2. Fore deck fence I agree with you that "lifelines" - protective net has purpose to avoid touching and falling down. On pictures, even on old one, you can see metal fence around deck same on C-plans But ( again) there is question about those fence ( red arrows on photo) - has it to be here ? 3. Aft-deck is ... hmmm ... many questions On C-plans, same as I have seen on different kit models, there is a fence on edge of roof on aft cabin Now, it disappear ! I assume that this fence has purpose during sailing, and now, when climbing on roof is forbidden, it has no point, and it is cute from CS in some stage of her ground life Fence which rounds after deck is present as on C-plans as now 4. And life-line on ladders which lead to aft-deck. Has it`s point on sailing time, as now. Also presented in very old rare photos of Her It seems to me next: - rail fences over fore and aft deck were there, are there and has to be here ( without rope protective net) - handrail on aftdeck ladders was there and has to be on model - fences on after deck cabin, considering I will make model with spread sails, will be there - fences beside front ship bell - it will be nice detail - ladders to fore deck - will be nice detail instead pin-rails, without life-line or protective net - all fences will have 2 horizontal lines with pillars and divided fields, without rope net And now, to return to my question to Patrick In my scale, height of fences has to be only 8 mm, so they just have to be fragile because 0,5 mm wire looks on that scale as wholesale tree !!!! Devil`s work it will be And question was - WHEN - in which stage of building to mount them ( if I succeed to make them anyhow)

Heads are only 20 mm tall, Patrick , and look at this thiny net toward them!!! It rounds whole fore deck

Hey Patrick ! My "detail overload" and "make a crowd" strategy of building seems to bears some fruit! Not even close to perfect model, but all slowly get on it`s place and nice look of decks appears. With my experience and skill, I am almost 100% satisfied with last year results. For now, I am very pleased how things go. Except all I make I have to make 2-3 times What do you think, having in mind your skill and experience with your miniature, and fragile work: when is right time to make and mount my, to devil small fences on rails? Just before rigging ? After rigging ? Now ? I am clumsy and impatient from time to time, and it is really hard decision Nice idea Carl. I think that, if I do that, I risk to be keel-hauled by captain, considering lack of fresh water for shower purpose. Also do not believe that sailors like salt water shower far out at sea , so it can be another reason to bath me under ship

Second "Head" done Pretty crowded it become As you can see if careful watch photos, right cabin is bit taller than left cabin, because right inner bulwark is a bit higher than a left inner bulwark. But, it is not visible on a first look, and that was my idea how to mask grand building mistake I made in first days of my build. Particular when ladders, entrance, hatch and deck winch will be added in front of cabins, and chains will be lined up to chain pipes I can (have to) live with that

Thanks, Jud. From time to time I have a war with my English, so ... And it is written on proper place to whom who are literate ( I am obviously - not) He, he ... fortunately in time when She was sailing, there were not cell phones, tablets, and another appropriate equipment and toys for this type of game room. And ... shared closets were never a fun places, no matter how they were made, no mather how they are cleaned. I think we, almost all were in army ? Or in a camp, concert, etc etc There are many names Mark ... in my family domestic words are: The Throne, The Temple of Relief, One Place, Resting Room, YOU ARE HERE AGAIN !!! or variant WILL YOU GET OUT TODAY !!! ... and some just untranslatable words which every language has for it. when I finis second ( I hope today) , real fun begins with pump and bars

Denis, I do not understand what you mean by "heads" . If you think about height of cabins, you are wrong. Toward photos, cabin is a bit higher it has to be Thank you for nice comment. Paper at start, paper at end.

It seems I'm on right way. First cabin (with pump at side) done without pump for now. It was made again from zero On position

I am glad to find your log. Wellcome to CS fleet If you become interested for particular detail, let me know, and I'll be glad to try to help you looking for it in my CS photo album, with near 500 photos I collected in last three years of my CS build. Some of them are attached to posts in my build log, some are not. I think I have catched all important details of hull and decks. Not the same about masts yards and rigging segments. It is not allowed to climb on museum exponats, so there are only a few photos on net Nenad
