NenadM reacted to Lou van Wijhe in Cutty Sark by NenadM
Hi Nenad,
I think I can satisfy your curiosity with the following quote:
Another stern decoration that Linton designed, which has been preserved on Cutty Sark today, included the dreadful pun, "Where there's a Willis a Way". Below it, although not part of Linton's scheme, was the emblem of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India. This was probably copied, or perhaps even taken, from Willis' favourite ship, The Tweed when she had been the Indian Marine's Punjaub.
The order has no known connection with Willis - it was established in 1861 by Queen Victoria to reward conspicuous merit and loyalty and was mainly awarded to maharajas and senior military officers working in India - but the Order's motto, which forms part of the decoration, could not be more fitting for any ship navigating by the sun and the stars: "Heaven's light our guide".
(from "Cutty Sark, the last of the tea clippers" by Eric Kentley)
Around the time of the ship's restoration in the nineteen fifties, the original Star of India emblem appeared to be hanging over the staircase in the house of Mrs. Kirkaldy-Willis, a relative of John Willis. The emblem was presented to the ship, so this part of the decoration (or a facsimile thereof) is original.

OUTSTANDING Nenad. Understanding now that I'm working with small stuff I really appreciate your efforts in the stern decorations. Your brushwork on the name is fantastic, even when enlarged! Kudos my friend.
Cheers,

NenadM got a reaction from 3qq in Cutty Sark by NenadM
Next challenge are much thinner elements of ornament, and here is attempt ( with preliminary painting)
So small and thin, and very hard to shape and to glue, and to paint.
The thinest drop of CA I can produce, even on a top of needle is 2-3x thicker than this little wire. Top of my thinest paintbrush seems so large as I try to write font 14 with baseball stick.
Did I try again ? I do not think so
For me, this moment, most important is that it seems that whole ornament (when done) will have main shape, look and feel as on CS

Btw, here is place and part of work when lost lines, angles and proportion of fields make problems

Second attempt ...
Made from thin wood strips
Ok, I think it can pass ...
And now starts harder part with very thin lines, less than 0,5mm. I made some tests, and for now it seems that thin rope will take main role. We ll see tomorow
