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

Weeeeel done !!!!

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

As promised;  I did a little deadeye work....  This is a picture of the starboard main deadeyes, in their rail.. 
 
The deadeyes, and thier strops, are raw, unpainted, and undetailed.  This is just to show their orientation to the rest of the ship.  Also, the last three smaller deadeyes are not installed, as I am trying to find a happy medium with their tiny chain plates.  I spent a heck of a lot of time to place the holes to angle these things as the shrouds would be naturally so I hope all this works...
 
Best always,
 
Bob

Prototype deadeye, with strop an rod, from quite a while ago, sitting with smaller deadeye prototype.
 
The 3.5 mm deadeye will represent deadeyes in diameter from 9 to 10 inches on the real ship, while the 2.5 mm  deadeyes will represent those from 6 inches to 7 inches in diameter.

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

Backward

First try





Looking for technique to apply

Bob, this can not be done only by C-plans. Zooming, you can see only bunch of lines without sense. But it gives pretty clear plan of main pieces/fields of whole ornament

I do not think so, Cap. But who knows, I'll see when put it on a place, how it looks and fits with another elements 
Today I was honored by Admiral watching me writeing/painting letters. And with likes ?
 
Hmmm
 
Later, I heared Admiral talking something about upholstery ??? She and her ideas ...
 
Quid pro quo
 
I'll try to ignore
 
Never boring here

Thank you friends for likes and nice comments. Last couple of days, e.g. evenings, I posted from phone, and it is pretty clumsy to write long answers
 
About cats/dogs and new puppy ...  we all like animals. Dzuki, my 16 years old dog do not see and do not hear anything any more, and , I just can not do this to her - to bring home new puppy until she is live. That is main reason, I have no heart to put her in " as a jealous dog " situation. Let her live her days in peace and all love we can give Her
 
About mess - as time goes by, it seems less important. But from time to time, I remember ...  where was my today "smartness" and "brain" two years ago ???
 
About details and detailing ... today while  I was working on decoration letters ( "Cutty sark" and "London"), as yesterday making version #10 of rope under letters, I felt strong fear to slide to dangerous, never ending way ( again  because it can be a little bit precise, a little bit similar, a little bit ...., and over and over and over again). Banged my head, and stopped. " ... Hey, boy, this letters are UNDER stern, and who to hell will get down on his knee to watch this on model ? ..."   Little part in that had 2 hours for "Cutty" letters and another two for "London" letters , and attempt to make some "plastic" and "relief" letters .... just a idiot ...
 
Thank you Omar, I am glad my posts are useful for somebody
 
Thank you "Ship wizard" for dropping by and comment. 
 
Little digging information about "Star of India" sign ... and become a little confused ... Do anybody know reason why this sign is on CS? Wikipedia get me confused ... 
 
Hey, Piet, I follow your Log very closely, and like to read about your father and his service. Also admiring to your phenomenal work
 
CaptainSteve, it is obvious I have a bad influence to you ... as to Bob ... 
 
Mark And Denis, thank for your support and good words ... your presence and comments, as well as your works,  turn me on to try to pull out best from me
 
So letters are done, rope is done, and to see what section is next ...

:)

A great gesture for the dog's well-being. 
 
You've learned a lot in two years, but we can't go back.  There's a limit we put on how much re-do we do otherwise the ship would never get finished.
