She is ok, but sometimes pit bull temperament of her late mother bumped out, particulary when she has her own nervose sources (she finaly realised that with full time doctor's job she just has no more time to be director of two hip-hop dance studios just to mention thatvher 10 years of dancer and coach carrier means a lot to her, if she want beside job a time to resy, to finish German learning and to start and finish car drive learning, and want beside all of that, some time to allow some boy to enter in her 27 years old life). And to be honest, Hothead and me are not quite right, but ... sometimes push, somethimes pull... family diplomacy. Tripple of nervouse family members at the same time = spice of family life.

Shipyard temporary changed with "kitchen-yard" Hothead's theme for his project and model architecture exame is - school building. Everybody other starts with traditional basic cube form adding details. But him ... no ... why it can be simple when it can be complex ... he started with flower form dressed in glass ... real soon of his father- 4,152 replies

I have to manipulate and improvise - we have two vacuum cleaners in house - one, more than old, cheep and weak - Chinese no name, which works on principle - what gets in, that exactly gets out. I do not know why till now I did not retire it. Another is - real beast - and too strong - "Rainbow", which I bought with all accessories to Admiral for cca 2000€ in one of my moments of madness. But, I`ll figure out something- 4,152 replies

Thank you Piet. If you can remember, there were many experiments finding color for deck. Now, even deck is dirty, and even there are traces on of color dust and garbage on bulwarks, when railings and ( almost all) dead eyes are on place and colored, when inner bulwark content is on place and colored, it seems I hit my goal. It will look more better when I finish dead-eyes, clean deck and start with color correction Thanks Carl. Looking at Her deck with my new magnyfier, I was open-mounted with amount of collected dust. Add to this garbage from holes I drilled for dead eye holders, and you can get complete dirty picture ... which leads me to serious thinking about way to keep her from dust when rigging time comes ... there are some ideas ... including to occupy Hothead`s room only for rigging purpose, with forbidden entry to everyone, particular to cat. Thanks Gerhard. Patience please !. It is hard to work when outside is 33 C with 100% humidity in air and subjective feeling as 39 C last two weeks and next couple of days ... Flat is acclimatized, but shipyard is not. And when you jumped as donkey in downtown whole day in dark colored car without acclimatization, in Courts without it also (?) and if you had afternoon full of meetings, only glass of ... anything wet and cold and nirvana state can be applied successfully on me . To add that Hothead is at short visiting home, and we are preparing for big weeding ceremony of my niece at Saturday with 400 guests, which, naturally means that - when princess came home after work, there is chat chat chat chat until ... I fall down sleeping in chair, and command break for today Hello Denis. I noticed your relative absence, following your another logs and posts. Take your time and enjoy in life as much as you can.

Thanks Jud. I hope there will not be need for herbicide. Quite enough we eat every day in food, even we do not want, aren't we? Thx Piet. I faced with resolution issue ... 15 sec video clip recorded in HD resolution has more than 200MB. Tonight I made two more clips with details, but just had no patience to wait for them to upload to YT, even watching second time how Daeneris burned Mastet's ships ....

My yucca-war was succesfull ( for now). But grass ... this season grass grows rapidly every time when I look at it in yard ! Rather this song: Somewhere in the past, I found led Zeppelin musical notation for first five albums, and enjoyed very much playing my el. guitar, acoustic guitar and 12-wire guitar, particular this song.

Hmmm... pretty nervous week from unknown reason, with rain, rain, rain ... and 100% humidity in air ... not usual in this area Thx Mark. With Phone camera it is pretty good. Some details ( rivets on "cooper" plates) are not captured well. Only 5MP camera Thx Patrick. Thx Carl. My artistic approach towad mistakes I made obviously has results Thanks Cap. Thanks Gerhard. I did my best Thanks Rob. Some mistakes are still presented very well ( width of inner bulwark) Thank you very much for nice words. I am almost satisfied with results to date.

Thank Piet for this very usefull imput. Let it stay here !!! No hijack! Just wait for me to find something and I'll continue posting ... Ok, I'm back I had to dive deep in my log, to the section where I was playing making tests trying to make boomkin with chain ( post #1601 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2501-cutty-sark-by-nenad/page-81#entry257937 ) Chain, if you can call it so, was made from two 0,1 mm twisted Cu wires, and second attempt was made with knots on those thin wires, trying to simulate chain rings, and yes, it is quite strong. Very very strong Testing this "structure" I forced "boomkin's" chain with some imaginary rope lines, and it holds very well My decision to use 0,5 mm wire for dead eyes was aesthetic, not technological. With 0,5 mm wire colored white, it looks better simulating white rounded cackle on dead-eyes. Just a bit more visible, and that was my goal, to have this nice detail Dead eye strops are glued in their holes on deck with drop of CA, dead eyes are also glued with CA drop, by thiny drop in holes on rail. I think it will be strong enough On the other side, thinking about further rigging, and watching my photo collection, I noticed some chain lines along masts, not ropes, and I am seriously considering possibility to use twisted 0,1 wire to simulate this vertical chains 0,2-0,4 mm dia, which I doubt I can find on market Still far from now, but it is usefull to know strenght of Cu wire, even 0,2 mm thick Thanjs again, my friend. Very usefull- 4,152 replies

I am proud to announce: left side of fore mast dead eyes - mounted and glued, after mat warnishing and correcting of holes. Much much easier and more comfort with my new magnifier I am satisfied, it has almost the same look and feel as on photos. Efforts payed off every minute I spent in do/redo works Target Result Under rail look Bird sight. All in straight line And scale Cleaning and color correction has to be done after all dead eyes mounting- 4,152 replies

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
