    Returning from Zlatibor Mountine, before I go to Germany to visit Princess in Chemnitz where she live and work, I continued to spend my vacation days doing ... hmm ... almost everything which bumps on my head Considering little progress on Her Majesty Signal lights - done Little beasts, I almost lost my eyes somewhere in my man's cave But, it seems ok to me

    Hello, Rob Having in mind that I make Her for two reasons 1. To enjoy working on her 2. To put Her in my living room when finish without any idea to show Her anywhere or to sell Her I decided to combine elements from Campbell plans with present stage I see on photos, with some details from Lou's set of b/w photos Also, considering several really big and important mistakes I wrote earlier in log, I found only way to get out from mud - to hyper detail Her, to mask my mistakes I know it is not accurate approach, but this is it I silently follow all your work with great attention! Thank you for your interest

    Thank you, my friend. Just playing, and make stop on point where it become hard to see difference between real masterwork and optimal work Ring holders, for example, can be made more precise and more clean, but it is only 1mm wide detail, so ... who could ever see that?

    Thank you for kind words, Denis Right now, considering that I am pretty close to mast/yards/sails/ropes stage, this speeds up me and runs to finish deck contents So, here is a little step toward Boat Davits Thinny and fragile, it seems ...

    Hey Jud Thank you my friend for very kind words He he … there is something as it is said ... "monkey see monkey do!" . There are so many interesting things in this world, which from time to time, almost continuously take my attention, so I have million of hobbies (modeling, guitar, painting, photography, writing and publishing short stories on FB, cooking, gardening, traveling, visiting old places, collecting and listening music, research history, reading books, visiting museums theaters opera ballet cinemas exhibitions concerts, etc. etc.) so my day is short for everything I want and everything I have to do for living, including my job, very close family relations particularly with Hothead and Princess, social life with many friends, and of course, my private emotional life … So, Her Majesty has to be patient and to wait for me About netting I think I used unappropriated word. I agree that netting was not in use in Her working years. But safety fence? There are some old photos where are fences on fore and aft deck are presented, also on Campbell`s plans So, considering my deccission to make model designated only to stay in my living room, which will be some kind of mix between C-plans and photos of details at present day, combining with details from Lou`s photos, with all sails spreaded, this is it Almost same story as ancient fortress here in Belgrade, named Kalemegdan fortress, which was destroyed and rebuilded more than 20 times in more than 2000 years of it`s history … where you can find remains of walls and structure from Roman empire time, midlle age time, Turkish time, etc etc. Onde day I was speaking with custos of museum and asked him - why you do not reconstruct a whole fortress? And he said - And in wish period exactly to reconstruct? Same thing. To admit, I am not passioned in that way to research and reconstruct Her Majesty exactly to one period of her long life. I enjoy in working on Her, and I will enjoy in her look when she will be finished one day Thanky you again for your very kind words and wishes Nenad

Yes, I am still here, with my day cutted of for additional 12 hours I need to do everything I need and want Slowly approach to court hollidays, to my summer vacation, and I hope to find a time to continue to the stage of build which is most interesting (masts yards etc etc) In men time, working, keeping my house in shape, garden works, take care of Rhea - the home queen, doing some side projects (painting with acryl on canvas) and ... hehe ... spend some time with one beautiful lady ... as I said, 24h are veeeeery short See you soon with some progress All the best for you all Nenad

    As you can see, Orthodox cristmas was on Sunday, april 27th, monday was holliday day, few days after two holliday days for may 1th, and begin with friday april 25th until tomorrow may 6th, I was on some kind of miny vacation. Even I want to work my regular job, I don`t have no client here, everybody connect this days and went somewhere. From some reasons, I was not planing to travell somewhere for couple of days, so, there was a plenty of time for Her Majesty, and works are progressing significantly Next on list, to fullfil deck content, are different spare yards, boat masts, jards for studd-sails ... Their number and position on the main deck and on deck houses was reconstructed following Campbell plans and photos I collected all this years, and presented on drawing in upper post Material - barbeque bamboo sticks For this purpose, to stand on deck or deck houses, making of them is easy. Just put bambo stick in dremell and use sandpaper. Yards for sails will be considerably higher bite, having in mind all fittings and their construction So, let it be

    Thank you for your really nice and supporting words, my friends Mainly, all goes well, just as I have planned. As you probably remember, I made several serious mistakes at the beginning (lost hull and deck lines and position). On some way, I just do not know how, I succeed to eliminate those mistakes in outer view to my model, at least, I can not see them looking Her Majesty from outside But in the main deck, situation is quite different, and deck railings are not parallel to deck. How works on the model are progressing, it seems that my decision to overload decks with hyper detailed parts - to visually mask mistakes, was a right one For now, considering that aft and fore decks are almost done with all elements on their place, the most difficult constructive challenges on main deck are also done, so I can be quite relaxed, making remaining elements Next picture present current state of works on main deck So, my plan is to make them all, then to glue them all on their places, than to make tinny net fences on fore and aft deck railings Then I plan to correct eventually colour mistakes, and then, finally to go to the next stage - masts and yards. Sure, there will be a grand dust cleaning works before Her Majesty moved to one of child rooms where is no dust Having in mind the speed of my works, it will be almost OK if I reach that phase at the autumn this year Again, thank you all for watching
