Whole ornament is finished.
 
OK, little color correction here and there ... and maybe adding little drop of yellow to gold color before that ... something to thing about
 
Considering there is a lot "bash" jobs/techniques applied, tomorrow I'll write little tutorial/explanation. I was a bit inpatience to try and to move forward and forget to explain main steps of this creative journey full of improvisations
 
Here are pictures
 
CS ornament - targeted look. Little more yellow tone ? I think it have to be, but maybe later, because front and rear decorations have to be in same color
 

 
Left side
 

 
Right side
 

 
Look from floor
 

 
It looks like, or I have to visit doctor for my eyes
 
And again "problem" with close-ups ... magnify every little mistake. And when you try to fix it, you realise that you have to move center or end of rope which is 7 mm long and less than 1 mm thin, up or down for about 1/4-1/2mm ... and when you do this, another part moves out of position ... after a while, you look at, and it seems OK, and you make close-up, and see new mistake you made. Another endless circle
 
I must confess, I have not enough patience to do this more than once, twice
 
Time to think what is next move

Telephon cooper wire again
 
 

 
On place
 

 
And preliminary painted
 

 
Much much better

Part one:
 

 

 

 

 
Enough for today. Glueing was problem ...
 
Color corection follows when all will be done
 
Btw, here is place and part of work when lost lines, angles and proportion of fields make problems

Uh oh ah .... thiny nice blue detail almost missed !!!!!
 

 
 
How I did not see thid before ? Too much stearing in structure on Lou's great detailed high resutipn b/w pictures
 
First thing tomorrow

Thank you Piet.
 
 
Better looks from distance, but I can not make good sharp photo with this camera. In close ups, for now, rope seems too be a bit masive, but I think still gives nice contrast and some kind of underlineing to the star and letters. I think all will fit well when missing parts of decoration will be done.
 
All this time I was looking for 3D effect and look, and I think I've got it. In next life it can be more precise, but ... I am satisfied and can live with this
 
Also, in such a scale, by my opinion, some points of decoration who gives authentical look and fill, and assume to recognize this unique ornament, simply must be a bit englared. Without that, such small, that point looks as splash of gold color, or just dissapeared, and whole thing lose it's feeling and expresion
 
My booring artistic philosophy
 
Now is 21:00 I come back from Novi Sad, and it is to late to start working on Her

Yellow in real life problem ? ... I do not see problem , just let them stay somewhere next 200-250,years, and you ll find problem resolved

And hmm job again ... why I can not do things correctly on a first shot ?
 
Always twice ...
 
So
 
I was not satisfied with last done, and change material, and ta-da-da ...
 

 
And, as usual, apetite grows ...
 

 
How to manipulate those "points" ? Think think think ... a ha ... very thined top of toothpick
 
And how to paint them ?
 
Think again
 
At the same way - sharp top can pick very little drop of gold acrylic, and
 
 
I am proud !!!

You probably have some hair to pull .. I don't .... I heard it helps ...

Dont hurry, make this step loooooong ...

FOLDER MECHANISM part 4
 
Star
 

 
On second and thirs from left, blue ring is MADE of telephony cooper wire

PAPERCLIPS, TELEPHONE WIRE,  MULTI-HAIR WIRE AND TOOTHPICKS
 
In mission to become "boomkin and chain" on Cutty Sark
 
Here is goal
 
 

 
 
So called "Boomkin and chain" on Campbell plans. In my scale, it has to be about 10mm long, has four rings up and two down, movable hinge and a chain to connect to bulwark eye
 
So, let us begin
 
1. Material
 

 
2. Making a tool
 
Main material is telephon cooper wire. Thin enough, and fitted on such little dimensions, hard enought
 
But, how to make tool for making little rings ?
 
Open paperclip, line it, and make this, considering dimensions you need
 

 
Tight strenght this structure in table clamp, and cut as on picture
 

 
You got perfect modeling pattern, and massproduction can start
 
3. Boomkin itself
 
Following next pictures, make four little rings, taking care to keep wire tight all time
 

 

 
Pull out wire with rings, turn wire backward, and make new two rings on proper places
 

 

 
Pull out whole structure, align and fit it on anvil
 

 
Soldering is neccessary to tight both parts and to give some mass, but it can be tricky on such a small piece. To avoid rings to stay clean and open, use toothpicks
 

 
4 Hinge - preliminary idea, it probably can be done better. Hinge is on toothpick top before soldering
 

 

 

 

 

 
Soldering is neccessary, and a little correction with Dremell ... 
 
Mount boomkin in hinge, and fit hinge, and boomkin can move !!!!
 
It is preliminary idea
 
5. Chain
 
I think that on the market you can not find chain thick 0,2 mm ... Also I think that is imposible to make such a chain ... ot it haas no sense ...
 
So, idea is to make something "TO LOOK AS THE CHAIN"
 
And I remember cooper multiwired cable, and use cooper hairs as thin tread, and with torsion two hairs, I got this
 

 

 
Eye is made earlier from telephony wire, as I show in my log
 

 
 
Connect with "chain" boomkin and eye
 
 

 
And after painting in blac acrylic with a little drop of gold acrylic
 

 
Root of hinge and eye can be mounted in bullwark. Line of moves can be different, and I conected chain for demo purpose.
 
Also, depending of patience, little chain can be made in different way ( some macrame technique, still has to be investigated)
 
But, whole structure is so small, and there is unanswsered question, will all this ( movable hinge, chain structure) be visible at all ?
