  1. David, when I was young I had over 300 LP records, today no one. Thx to internet, all is recovered and main parts are completed. The most valuable things I have on my PC. Music is very important part of my life. Almost as a books.
  2. Unexpected working day with long lasting working meeting ... little nap ... YOU CAN FINALY BRUSH YOUR DOG ... listen this: MY dog? Evening come ... Verdi and Aida ... and some "valuable" progres. Nice time to explore diferent music you didn't listen or had not enough time to listen in your life. Me and She last year were listening: ELP, Craftwerk, JSBach, Red Army Choir, sacral Serbian music, Irish traditional, Pavaroti, Led Zeppelin albums 6 and further (with first 5 I grew up) Pink Floyd last 10 years works, different classical music autors, some old blues and soft jazz ... 80GB on hard disk and still growing collection "just another brick in a wall" and at last some challenge: first "serious" curvature on hull forwarding to stern Some macro photos
  3. Nice work in rails. That was hard part for me considering all curvatures presented. Go on with Her Majesty
  4. I have no idea how much "devil" work is around those metal "flower". But when think about ... my deep respect
  5. Maybe you can whistle and right one will answer to call I made similar headache with stanchions, waterports, ... 56 white panels, and with tolls which always use their hidden legs to walk of the place I left them Good and inspirative work for my four boats when time will come. I realy like it
  6. Hey Piet, I just copied to phone complete Verdi's opus to listen during plating and coopering, but today I decided to dive in and clear and make in order office archive on atic (shelves are overloaded with more than 3000 archived files in relative mess. so ...) Verdi is good for that job, also.
  7. There's still a kid in everyone of us, so ... let's play
  8. Amazing and inspirative, as always. A lot to enjoy it and a lot to learn.
  9. WOW, man, that is exactly I plan to do. Considering huge amount of chains in Cutry Sark, is it worth?
  10. Yesterday I presented to Admiral and Hothead my progress with riveted plates ... Hothead was delighted, and, as he know EVERYTHING he was full of advises how to proceed ... Admiral forgot her likes showed to rivets and hings at water posts, and ask me, why don't I just paint hull in gold ... from understanding support and delightness to the total misunderstanding I suppose this is usual path we all walk on here... Finally, who care ... I enjoy in making every single plate ( ok, maybe I lie a little) ... almost every ... hardly wait to reach hulk part which will start to curve plate lines ... That will be interesting challenge ., but ... patience ... first three lines near to keel, then 2.3,4 to the waterline, then middle section (as I have seen on MSW) and then ... Her Majesty asked me can I do this faster. I answered Her with question: Do you rather like nice or fast dress ? She answered: ok,ok, don't be angry, I am just female ... I understand Her Obviously next stage of madness ... talking with model
  11. Ahh, another challenge lover and lady builder. Wellcome and good luck. Let your imagination fly and skills will follow right behind. Power of the sea! Magic of spreaded sails, and smelt of gun powder. Keep on, I'll be there in some hidden corner watching with inpatience Nenad
  12. Yes, Denis, I felt something, and until now I didnt know what it is Let the Force be with you
  13. One day trip to Apatin SPA "JUNAKOVIC" APATIN As idiotic commercial said: YOUR PART OF THE PANONIAN SEA! The Spa "Junakovic" is situated at the ledge of the same-named Park-wood and 4,5km far away from the city of Apatin (Vojvodina, Srbija).Its thermal water is from 700m deepness and reaches the temperature more than 50 C. The thermal water of the Spa "Junakovic" is the same category as the water of the Karlovy Vary Spa (Czech Republic), Harkan (Hungary) and Lipik (Croatia). The medical therapies involve healing rheumatism of different origins, orthopedics and neurology diseases, gynecology diseases and diseases of the respiratory tract. Ideal for Admiral's mother (80) Among the complex of 10 outdoor pools, 8 paths Bowling aley (Kuglana "Banja Junakovic") and 4 tennis courts, there is also indoor therapy pool, 2 finnish saunas and gym, and guests can relax with underwater massage or hand massage (anti- celullite massage, relax, honey and chocolate massage, foot reflex zone massage, scrub marine spa treatment, holistic and ayurvedic massage, argan oil treatment and limf drenage), which is involved by convinient mini, daily, weekend and 7 day packages. Whole day poor rain, so we (Admiral and me) delivered granny, and drive 200km to home They recommend: Oligoessenthia body sculpting, body peeling with sea algeas and Moroccan wellness. It is worth to mention that there is a Foot-path of health across the Park-Wood "Junakovic" and the Spa "Junakovic" is connected with nearby Apatin and Prigrevica with cycling-paths. Hipper modern object with really bad detail hand finishing works, prepared to allow all capabilities for organizing seminars (2 auditorias for 100 persons, with AV equipment), lunches and celebrations (a restaurant with capacity of 450 persons). Soon the Spa "Junakovic" will have one of the greatest Spa & Wellness Centre in the region, as they said All in all, nice trip to relax overloaded brain. Unfortunately, nothing valuable from history to be seen there. From higway through local road between small unknown villages. In Ottoman times, many armies were trying to pass there and get stuck in swamps which do not exist now. Just passed or try to pass. Nothing interesting
  14. Marching on both sides in 3 rows to bow and stern
  15. Thank you guys for kind words. There is little fun in repeating, but there is a great joy watching progress of occupation of uncovered area of hull. Plates are marching ... or on this way
  16. All "cooper" plates removed, and ... quess what ... start over, again. This time, I hope in a right way So, "Third Hull war" begin. Me gainst 4-5000 pieces: draw, cut, rivet, glue, place, and again: draw .... Here are photos of first steps And now this log enter to boooring phase, exept if I found something interesting to ask/share/think about
  17. Here is new riveting jig with final test results. When rolling, stands still, and allow precise moves and lines YEAH !!! I can finally continue ( with removing slices I have glued first...) Rivets are convex, just as they have to be, neat, not big to much, and I am happy Yesterday I smuggled another new hand tool !!!! Drill 0,5 mm with holder !!! Works very fine And now, I have nice collection of little drills from 3mm until 0,5 mm Of course, there have to be some necessary security steps conditioned by periodically Hothead presence in workshop In Belgrade it rains whole day, and I can no work in garden, so, considering I do not like to watch football even it is World Championship, I hardly wait to finish office job and to go downstairs to Her ...
  18. Wake up, drinking morning ness coffie, watchin news on TV, reading news and posts (MSW) on cellphone, morning freshness came from window, preparing for job ...shipacholic ... thinking about tests ... smarter morning tells me ... No 9
  19. David, I learned something when I tested colors for deck, and can not remember how to reply what I have done in particular test
  20. After sleepless night ( drive Princese 25 km to Her party about 22,00, and picked her up about 03,00 - She was dancing whole night with 15 cm heel on sandals, and stayed without legs) and after hard day on job, I have some sleep, and work, and went down to make some tests Earlier today, I remembered that there was old watch factory INSA in town, run on Internet and find it still exist, but no watches to make today. Today they make different precise measuring instruments in which little gears are used, so I went there , and ... I got three little gears to try .... ( payed nothing ). Another interesting faces when I was describing what I need and why ... but they were very kind Notices about tests: 1. I didn't cut slices to much precise for test purpose, also didn't give my best to align them 2. Material is self adhesive plastic foil with "metal color layer" 3. I have not made jig jet, so tried "from hand", so some lines are curved 4. I am not sure what will be visible on pictures, so I attach scanned version with explanations, also particular photos 5. sorry for my bad handwriting, I use for writing only PC almost 25 years 6. dimension of slices are 4x10 mm I left conclusions and decisions for tomorrow, leaving whole thing to stay at night. Morning is smarter than evening
  21. Just like you said, Nils. Encouragement from you, as much experienced master builder, and also from Roland Vlahović modeling champion from Croatia (see his work on https://www.facebook.com/roland.vlahovic?fref=nf , or just on Google pictures look for Roland Vlahović) are so significant to me to do things on right way, even with presence of consequences left after earlier mess I did. Nice and proper details which will follow next stages of my building can mask (?) - (I hope so) this and lead to the really nice model for my living room. Today I intend to do many tests with "poncewheels", so pictures will follow Thanks for your interesting
  22. Bob I do not understand first two pictures of bow coopering. Are coopering plates following planks or waterline ? It seems as two options ? On the other side, on photos, plates are following waterline, in your model - plates are following planks line ? In stern, also situation is different considering Campbell and Lubbock ( "Basil Lubbock - China clippers" 1914) , also pictures Hmmm again BTW, I found gear wheels !!!! Yeah, and ... I have to remove all coopering I just putted on to do them better !!! I am on "my way" - put and remove, put and remove ....
