  1. And here is another Cutty Sark on MSW Hot welcome to CS fleet to Peter http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8472-cutty-sark-by-petervisser-billing-scale-175/#entry251819
  2. Hello Peter Hot wellcome from CS fleet to experienced builder. I have just visited your gallery photos, and I am amazed . Very well job. I am sure that we have to learn a lot from you during your Cutty Sark build voyage I just found your log, and I am very glad here is another Cutty Sark I wish you happy modeling and great time here on MSW with other folks who build Her Majesty I pull a chair in a first row, bring some popcorns and beer, and waiting for your show to start and continue, inpatiently. It seems you are equiped well with sources for investigation, and there is no reason not to start As you ( and House Stark) said : Winter is coming ! Nenad
  3. I have just read about new (small this time) fire on CS ... Something is wrong in this picture ... I hope this virus will not infect our models I suggest when working on model, always to have near full mug of bear ( just for a case ...)
  4. Attorney strike still lasts, so I am at home, with plenty of time. Weather turn to rain with low temperature ("Winter is coming"), first activation of home heating system done, thinking about Hothead and his first move in-move aut ( flat changing) ... After finishing mooring pipes (outside) faster than expect, continue working with simillar parts ( do not know right name) First steps Long telephone call with sister interrupted me, and this is it for today
  5. Between coopering and painting in cooper ..... COOPERING, no doubt !!!!
  6. Art of mistakes, and art of errors

      Yes it is correct..

  7. Slow forward to mooring pipes - outside look. After half a hour sniffing through home, garage and shipyard, and after some experiments, I was not much smarter...what to use ... elypse shape is significant ... the smartest approach I can get is to reply technique I used for portholes ( windows) And here is first one, three more to go Not bad BTW ... glasses for windows ... is there any sense when inside diameter is aobut 1,5-2 mm ?
  8. Kess, I am glad you like it. Thank you for dropping by. It means a lot when people like your work, even you are not quite sure what are you doing
  9. Than you for good words Johnroy. All kit plans have their unique simplification, so somewhere stanchions on deck are missing, somewhere stanchions are wooden, etc etc On the other side, in different parts of Her long history, CS had different look. You can find Her with portholes all along the hull from bow to stern, and with only four per side as today She look So, answer to your question depends only of your ambition, and decision to follow plans of kit in all points, or you want something more. Personaly, I decided to flow Campbell plans and photos I can find and still do not know where I ll be on the end. There are differences, and when I bump in nowhere, decision is made by actual inspiration of that moment Of course, you can chose accurate historic look, but - in which period ? Tea trade, wool trade, Ferreira look, school ship look, before or after fire ... at one moment you must cut this endless rope of questions and make a decision And that individual decisions give personal touch and unique look of any particularly ship model Haugh! I said. Of course, your model and your move Still waiting for your build log !!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. You are welcome Bob. I wish I could rewind my build and to follow (stole) some of your ideas. Or your smart pig
  11. Thank you Marc. Them are a bit more visible "polished" which better firs to my "detail overload" concept
  12. Considering that I ALWAYS rather discover hot water than walk on elephant path, even I am beginer, that is exactly reason I more like scratch than kit building
  13. Ok, I could not work last week. Today Hothead was finally packed in temporary accommodation in Novi Sad, and a new life for Him started. After we return home, Princess was not here (some of her Hip-Hop seminars and battle, whatever it is) ... House is empty ... and we have to adapt to this new situation ... even with two skype contacts this afternoon ... Lunch, napping, drink a coffee with Admiral, and finally went down to shipyard and Her ... She welcomed me pretty grim, but She was silent I decide to start with windows on bow space, Transferred position from C-plans, drill little holes, wide them to scale, and then question arise - them look like little flattened rings, and have to be a little "older" than a hull surface - and - how to hell to make them ? Think Nenad, think ... after a while and some time spent sniffing between materials in garage, I found little rounded wooden strip 4mm in diameter I drilled central longitudinal hole, and thinned it by hand to about 3 mm diameter Then carefully cut rings 1-1,5 mm wide, and glued them to position After glue hardened, with Einhell I shaped holes ... I must admit that putting some "glass" into openings on such a scale is a too big bite for me After sanding and finish with 400 sandpaper, first layer of black acrylic and ta-da-da ... Nenad, you are rushing again !!! To see what I have done and to compare with photos, I opened one of Matt`s photos I uploaded to G-drive Position - OK Dimension - relatively - Ok. Can be a little smaller, but, this is also over my possibilities ( or I am lazy to try) Color - failure And I give it first color repair Ok, need a bit more of yellow ( gold?) to add But, I become little nervous, and decided that this is all for today
  14. Denis, google translate do not recognoze "cradle" and "pine board". Can you explain ? I think I got a picture, but ... Marc, it is good to see you again. I know how you feel, I was in same situation last two month. Ok, not exactly, 2 of 5 working days, and only 200 km distance . Dangerous of sea water stays - there are eight windows on Her, but - without glass. I have done my best, but windows are too small for me to make some glass imitation
  15. Bob, it seems I have to leave some steps for future time, and to make particular post in content of log with a name " DO NOT FORGET !!!"
