Beautiful job there. Keep at her. She'll turn out lovely in the end. -
How do you part those little bits off the lathe without them flying into a corner of the universe where nobody can ever find them again?
-
Looking sweet. Pics and video of her under sail in May some time?
-
Those mammoth second world war battleships are incredibly impressive. The only thing close to them today is the Russian Kirov class Cruiser.

Don't chalk it all up to inexperience. Often times, the shape of the hull simply won't allow the thread to sit fair because the curve of the hull is such that a fair line doesn't translate to a straight line on the hull. If you get my meaning.

Full scale boatbuilding in Vancouver? What project? Or are you able to say?
-
Cutty Sark had a mechanism for releasing the anchor similar to the diagram for stock and fluke as above but it simply suspended from the cathead if i recall correctly. I might be wrong though. I don't have my Campbell drawings here with me. Perhaps someone with theirs in front of them can check as I'mabout 99% certain it's shown on them.

As will we. But like you, we'll get over it and you'll be back to model building before you know it. Just like we'll be back to ogling over your work.

I'm confident you'll figure out a way to get her bowsprit back to where it should be. She deserves it.

Very nice looking job.
-
Looking really sharp.
-
Those panels look like dumbed down attempt at making it look like raised paneling. She likely had raised panels but that's not how they would have been done. I'd not put them in either. At least not like that. See Nenad's build log on how he did his on Cutty Sark. I'd try to emulate that and see what you can get.
-
I could re read this thread over and over again. As your Naiad thread as well.
-
Glad you're making progress in the right direction. I bet it feels great.
-
Very nice little craft. Any pics of what she'll look like completed?
-
Those cuts are EXACTLY what I had in mind. Perfect. Just what I would have done. She's got to be the prettiest vessel of her type ever. An absolute gem of a ship.

I would put a number of rectangular holes at deck level at the lowest part of the deck. The curvature of the deck has it raise both forward and aft. Somewhere just abaft of mid length on the deck is likely the lowest part of the deck. A row of rectangular holes just forward (or aft really) of the top timbers would be appropriate. Say 6-8 per side, depending on how long the deck remains low for. Maybe more maybe less holes but I'd stay rectangular. It's easier to simply lop off the end of a plank after it reaches a top timber. Drilling round holes doesn't leave a big enough hole to drain the water properly. A round hole big enough would have reached up toward the cap rail weakening the structure too much. And drilling a hole is more work than lopping off the end of a plank I would imagine. You could ease the edges of the hole making it more like a D on it's side. Elongated. A yacht like vessel such as this would have been afforded that kind of luxury. At least that's how I'd do her up.

Cutty Sark by NenadM
Sailor1234567890 replied to NenadM's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Nenad, I love reading your posts. You talk about "Her Majesty", your Admiral, family life and all the curve balls that life throws at us from time to time. You weather the storms and keep a positive attitude. I love reading through your translations into english as it's more fun to me to get it "as you say it" rather than perfectly transcribed. Keep posting. You regularly make my day.- 4,152 replies

At least we all know to test our sawdust now. Mission accomplished.
-
The stern of these ships are very complex structures. You're doing a fine job of it. Keep it up. I love watching the progress.
-
I'd say Andy is spot on with his reasoning. And Sherry is spot on with her assessment. Visually stunning work you do. I'm absolutely amazed by your skills and the product you put out.
-
Awesome. Your lady is beautiful.
-
I caution you to test with the sawdust before you use it in your model. I did a similar thing with my canoe and noticed that the sawdust, even though it comes from a certain colour of wood, seemed to darken more than the wood it came from. Use the sawdust, just make sure you don't use the wrong colour. She looks awesome and continues to progress greatly.
