Lou van Wijhe Posted January 28, 2014 Share #601 Posted January 28, 2014 Ok, Nenad; no more whining for me. Now I need to ask you a question, (and Lou). The bulwarks were made of sheet iron that were riveted together. Does anyone know the dimensions of the sheets? Also, any dimensions on the rivets and the spacing between them? None of this is apparent in Campell's plans (my bible). The dimension of the bulwark plates are 10'8" x 40" x 1/2" and they are riveted to the inboard side of the sheer strake. The butts of the plates are internally strapped and the upper edges of the bulwarks are stiffened by a 4" x 4" angle iron, which also support the main rail. The dimensions of and spacing between the rivets can only be estimated from the numerous pictures available. Hope this helps.

Sailor1234567890 Posted January 28, 2014 Share #602 Posted January 28, 2014 Lubbock's book Log of the Cutty Sark has the original build contract included at the back. I know the dimensions of just about every structural part are included in there. Here's a copy online of the contract. I emailed Mr. Sankey before Christmas.

Lou van Wijhe Posted January 29, 2014 Share #604 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Lubbock's book Log of the Cutty Sark has the original build contract included at the back. I know the dimensions of just about every structural part are included in there. Here's a copy online of the contract. I emailed Mr. Sankey before Christmas. He must be very old by now but he responded very quickly to my enquiries. http://web.ncf.ca/bf250/willis.html Hope this helps everyone. Be careful with builder specifications, ships are hardly ever built precisely as designed. The original specs say "Bulwarks. To be of plate iron 5/16" thick to extend 4 ft above stringer plate according to tracing", whereas in real life they are with 1/2" much thicker and extend only 3'4" above the stringer plate. For model building the thickness of the plates is of lesser importance but the height certainly is. All actual dimensions can be found in the document "Construction of the Composite Built Clipper Ship CUTTY SARK" by Captain Simon T. Waite, the ship's former (and honorary) master. Lou P.S. Rethinking the subject: The original specification doesn't say the bulwark plates are 4 ft high but the bulwarks are "to extend 4 ft above stringer plate" which is something different. The plates are rivited to the inside of the sheer strake and do not rest on the deck stringer plate (look here) so, if they measure 3"4", the total height may indeed be 4 ft. Something learned, again. Edited January 29, 2014 by Lou van Wijhe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor1234567890 Posted January 29, 2014 Share #605 Posted January 29, 2014 I was going to include the caveat that ships are not always built as the specifications call for but simply forgot as I composed the text. Lou is absolutely correct. We are lucky with this ship as we have her with us and can measure her to our heart's content. Thanks for clarifying Lou.

NenadM Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share #610 Posted January 31, 2014 An aesthetic issue In different times of regular maintenance of CS, main, poop and aft deck change colour, depending of colour of paint is used, so red/brown and gray are bot correct colours for deck and waterway on model On younger images colour is gray, and white bulwarks are not so exposed in contrast ro deck. But, gray colour do not fit quite well to the colour of deck cabins On the other side, it seems to me that, if I I use red/brown colour for deck/waterway, white bulwarks will be much more exposed to eye (and all mistakes), but in that case, colours of deck cabin and deck fit more Also, lower parts of the masts are white, and boats are white too, and if I use gray, it fit well And, considering in mind that time for making waterway is closer and closer, question arises. Decks can be painted later, but, if I decide for some colour of water way ( it must be done before mounting stanchions, very hard to do it after), this reflects to later colour of deck. So, it is time for decision. What do you think ? Pure aesthetic ...

Lou van Wijhe Posted February 1, 2014 Share #612 Posted February 1, 2014 Nenad, The wooden decks themselves were never painted. Only the metal waterways (like other iron parts) were painted with a red/brown oxide paint, which was originally covered with cement (thus grayish coloured). In 1994 the cement was removed from the waterways in order to allow shotblasting of waterways and bulwarks before repairs were carried out. It was then decided to keep the waterways painted, and not to re-cement them. I don't know if they still have this red/brown paint on them but personally I like this colour better than gray.

NenadM Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share #613 Posted February 2, 2014 Lou, about painting deck I believe that you researched a lot, but it pictures, it looks as them are. It is not, by mine opinion, natural colour of any natural wood. I do not have been personaly to see Thx anyway.

Lou van Wijhe Posted February 2, 2014 Share #614 Posted February 2, 2014 Nenad, Wooden decks were never painted, it would make them dangerously slippery. The colour aspect changes whether deck planks are dry or wet, going from grayish when dry to dark brown when wet. Of course, you can give the deck any colour you like, it's your ship!

NenadM Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share #615 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) I made my mind, and decide for red/brown option, or something similar, we ll see when time comes So, preliminary paint of wateray, and start working on inside bulwarks First application of Archimedes' law of the modeling Each line of the hull flooded where it ought not, displaces an equal or greater amount of lines in places where you do not need them I wrote earlier about chaos I made on bulwarks inside, and now is time to try to mask it with overdetailing Here are pictures of details of working in present stage. First I put 1 x 1 molding for future suport of nail/dead-eye rail in distance of 2mm from panel section. This molding will not be visible ( hiden by rail) but I think it will be important for strong catching of glue. This molding gave me line for slices with rivets All is made of slices of mahogany veneer prepared as for second planking layer of hull, and thined to half or more When everything is glued, and on position, then thined again Following (tomorrow) Some necessary putty, and sanding 220+280+400 And then imitation of rivets And then painting all white acrylic After that stanchions ( big question still), and pin/dead-eye rails In pictures down, I put some temporary batten to get whole image Arhimedes lines are realy screaming visible , but I think they will be masked enough to be hard to see them. On deck I will put some "forgoten" bunch of ropes, some leaved bucket, some lost shoes, drunken sailor, dead cat or something... to mask my shame Of course, some water-ports had to be "moved" up to right place at the same distance to deck. When all be white, and surrounded with stuf, I think this will not be so screaming visible, as it is now Edited February 2, 2014 by Nenad M mtaylor and sonicmcdude 2 Quote In progress: CUTTY SARK - Tehnodidakta => scratch => Campbell plans http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2501-cutty-sark-by-nenad-tehnodidakta-scratched-campbells-plans/page-1#entry64653 Content of log : http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2501-cutty-sark-by-nenad-tehnodidakta-scratched-campbells-plans/page-62#entry217381 Past build: Stella, Heller kit, plastic, Santa Maria, Tehnodidakta kit, wood, Jolly Roger Heller kit, plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenadM Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share #617 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) I lost some lines, made deep surgery to find them, and found them on places that they have not to be Inside bulwarks have to be almost equal width in whole length above deck. I have something like this I think even I wanted to make this, I could not do this. There is no way to correct now, except to destroy all above waterline. No, thanks. Fortunately, another (left) bulwark is in better condition, so turning model left or right in glass home, will help a little. From the other point, external view of model looks pretty god for me, and that is happiness The cause of this mess is in some of first steps, when I formed deck with ONE PIECE of veneer 1mm wide, instead to plank with strips 1x3 or 1x5 mm. And I forced (?) that ONE PIECE DECK to fold to try to get latitudinal and longitudinal curvature of deck ?!?!?: And did not check lines of ribs before and after. And remade later fore and aft deck, and that is that now. That was mistake that costs.

You have seen in my log that I was persistent like a donkey, sanding and sanding and sanding, and remade aft and fore decks, and a "miracle" comes ... now I have got "proper" spaces on main deck under edges of aft and fore decks to put there some things that have to be there, and they both look to much better. Also sanded, sanded, sanded, and outside look of hull and bulwarks seems to be proper with almost regular hull and outside bulwark lines, so whole thing start a little to look like Cutty Sark. But, on some way I can not explain, main deck is little twisted. Just to remember, here are some pictures of first versions of fore and aft decks from earlier stage of building with obviously mistakes Where I was, I can not be un-satisfied now.

keelhauled Posted February 6, 2014 Share #628 Posted February 6, 2014 I wonder how many trees we've sanded away!? It is amazing what corrections sanding will accomplish. Nenad, I don't see anything noticeable concerning the deck warping. I wouldn't worry about it. Once you get the mizzen masts, yards, braces, chicken coops, and the rigging lines all over the place you won't notice any slight warp. I'd be dazzled by all of the detail that you've put into the bulwarks to notice any issues.

He kept me up to 03 am and I woke up at 06:15 am ... dragons, magic, knights, intrigue, action .... I just swallowed first 150 pages at once ....So, it seems to be better this evening to surf on net with one eye watching TV, than to expose Her Majesty to some dragon¨s fire or knight¨s sword ... And so, I am in love with epic fantasy ( Tolkien, Martin, Jordan, Zimmer, ....) and interesting night is in front me. And interesting tommorow ( I have court hearing with pleading in the morning ...)
