NenadM

Just dropped to watch and learn. This build will be interesting!

Ouch ... my English ... not Saturday - Sunday ....

Thx anyway

Nice curvature, Denis. It will be more nice when you apply "story of your life"

Nenad,

 

You could setup a vacuum cleaner which sucks all the dust particles away while you are working on the rigging ... or a compressor to blow it away before, during, and after your work session. Another option: just have a few ants run around with holy stones and water to scrub the deck   

 

Cheers

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 

Oh yes, that deck shot is just marvelous, simply marvelous.  Dead-eyes lined up nicely and the deck looks weathered, great job Nenad.

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

Nenad,

 

Your soldiers are looking spiffy, and their parade ground looks immaculate, no need to get the last pieces of dirt out with a toothpick. A lovely job if I may say so

 

Cheers

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.

Hi Nenad

 

Great job, they look good! Can`t wait to see her masted and rigged...................

 

Regards

Gerhard

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 

looking good Nenad..........I'm play'in catch up      nice video.......I didn't know you directed too;)    happy to see you overcame the dead eye issue.

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. All builds can wait, life can not 

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 ....

So, only photos of tonight progres

Nice and fine drawings, thinking and research. Even in 3D!

Computers are our best friends in this hobby, aren't they?

Just imagine long road without internet ...

Without MSW

Hi Nenad

Thats what we see, you really did the best!

Much rain will only mean, there will be a bit more of Yucca to extinct ......................

You should chant like they did it in 1969 in Woodstock "No Rain No Rain....."

 

Regards

Gerhard

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. ( and of course, Stairway to Heaven, and Babe I`m gonna leave you  etc etc)

Old times ...  

Hmmm... pretty nervous week from unknown reason, with rain, rain, rain ... and 100% humidity in air ... not usual in this area

Just wow, Nenad.   She looks wonderful.    This video captures her perfectly.

Thx Mark. With Phone camera it is pretty good. Some details ( rivets on "cooper" plates) are not captured well. Only 5MP camera

Hi Nenad

Seeing your video really put a smile on my face because of how beautiful your CS looks! Really, really, really nice!

Keep it up.

Cheers

Patrick

Thx Patrick. 

That gives a nice touch to your build log, Nenad. Your Cutty Sark looks real good on film too!!

Thx Carl. My artistic approach towad mistakes I made obviously has results

Her Majesty is looking ... majestic !!

Thanks Cap. 

Hi Nenad

 

the first look at the whole ship, she`s great!

 

Regards

Gerhard

Thanks Gerhard. I did my best

I'm impressed...Nedad.  Following you from the beginning and watching you make mistakes..correct.....change....modify....again and again as you perfected the model and your skills.  Very mice indeed.

 

Rob

Thanks Rob. Some mistakes are still presented very well ( width of inner bulwark)

i just watch your video Nenad  and yes you did a great job ! 

Thank you  very much for nice words. I am almost satisfied with results to date. Still a lot to go

Nice

Very very nice

Main mast dead eyes (left side) on place

Short video of present stage

Her proud lines appear!

Enormous researching work you put here Mark. Your log will be nice tutorial

A lot to learn here !!!

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

Planking in this scale? You are kiddin' !

Or not?

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

Proudly present upgraded man's cave

Professional tool. My eyes celebrate ! Old one you can see on back

Thanks Gerhard.

I expect to be more easy from today.

A new tool arrived at evening ...

My eyes are recycled, and all 50 pieces have got white collars

Very nice work !

Keep on good job

Nenad

Thanks Omar for nice words

Move forward to final look of dead eyes

CA drop - done. Re-drilling holes - done. Coloring wood - done. Coloring wire - started. Follow nice fiting of holes and applying mat acrylic transparent warnish.

It is raining whole day, and no work in homeyard can be done. After 2+3 hours of looking throught magnifier, my eyes dropped somewhere, which told me to stop.

Nice fix
