Nice progress Nenand, especially that you made a lot of nice parts and you tried to remake them to the better end. I´m curious how will be your beauty looks like on the end.

And the circle  around the  rudder will be made out of metal?

cheers Pavel

Thank you Pavel. Now it seems to me that things go in right direction, but there is stil many place for me to make some mess

 

I discovered that I have some skill to make decent model not to be shamed with, even still far far away from museum quality or for any competition purpose, just good enough for living room. I feel little disapointment by my first steps, but that is it now, and there is no come back

 

Circle from metal? It would be right way if I find a way for precise microscopic cutting with tools I have. And if you look carefull on picture, there is right behind one another small metal "ring" ...

 

Right now my homework is to climb on roof to get some war with ants, then to prepare one, some kind of shareholders meeting for tomorrow , and I hope to find some time for Her. I beg for rain to escape from roof job

Great work!  Looking forward to seeing the finished rudder circle..

[rfolsom]

Aha!  looks like I'm your first post on page 100 of your log!

 

 

[NenadM]

100 pages ???? Who could believe when I started log? Or I just like to write about necessary and unnecessary things

Skriboman ...

And main part of log is (I am still a bit shamed) making mess and cleaning mess, and making mess again ... and in same circle

I hope that I would be able to show bigger progress in next 100 pages

No work today ... I was at Assembly of the Association of Princess dance hip-hop club to help some heads to fly out and to help them to put their way to the legal highway ... I must help her even I think she has no need to be director and chairman of club ...

Nice......  Her Highness is looking sharp.  And don't worry about logs about making messes and cleaning up messes.  I think that goes with the territory.

[rfolsom]

Looks great, Nenad!  That's my next major milestone (getting the outside hull "finished" and ready for scrollwork and head timbers)....

[popeye the sailor]

you've put a lot of work into her........such a wonderful job!

[Omega1234]

Hi Nenad

 

Well done!  I love the third photo of Her Highness, because it really exemplifies her beautiful lines.  The copper plates give off a lovely sheen and not only reflect the surrounding lights, but, also the effort that you've put into Her Highness, so far.  I can't wait to see the cabins, scrollwork, deck fittings, etc.

 

Keep up the great work

 

All the best!

Fifth week of attorney strike. Presidents of Europian and World attorney associaton asked for meeting with Goverment President and Minister of justice, and their demand is just ignored by Serbian authority !?!?!?!?

 

And that IS NOT news for controled media?

 

New Sadam rise up ?

That is point - fun and joy

Dont forget NOT to test bulwark strenght when She is turned on head

[NenadM]

Thanks Denis, I am rwly glad to see that there is somebody else who likes my work exept me

Thank you friend. Now it begin to show - my earlier though - sum of little mistakes and inaccurates gives unique look and individuality of every single model. And there is realy great pleasure when you have some idea of final look, but have no idea how to materialize that idea, and when at the end, you succed to get 95% of your imagined apperiance. My idea about cooper look and feel was just what I get there. Maybe not accurate, sure not made in usual way and precise enough, but when I watch Her from distance - this is it!

 

And all of old "hunting hull lines problems" I had are forgoten

Continuing make up of white rails and edge of coopering surface and shapeing "root" of rudder preparing for "circle". Noting interesting to picture. Still thinking about material for "circle"

 

Veneer, plastic, card, wire, alu-can, cooper, ... or something I could find somewhere around in home

Nenad,

 

I would think black paper since it was/is probably metal on the real ship.  Easy to work with and fools most people. 

[rfolsom]

Nenad is silent.......

 

Perhaps just sitting back with a snifter of brandy or Scotch, looking at Her lines, and going ; Hmmmmmmmm......

[NenadM]

I'm not ... 

 

As a result of the flood, the market does not have the dried coal for citizen (I use it for heating in the winter - natural gas is expensive - doubled price than coal). Three weeks ago I spoke to the supplier and found a nice perspective - no dried coal ... Two days ago he suddenly called me and said that he has for me two tone, now, or who knows when ... Of course, I told him - drove immediately .. .

 

 

So, yesterday all day I loaded those two tone from the street in front of house where they were dumped to the basement. I ended up with a big muscle inflammation, and there was no way to get down to the workshop ... even to watch TV ... which does not mean that I did not follow what was going on MSW ... Kids and Admiral were watching something on TV, I was there napping, talking, lurking from Cell on MSW, FB, Google, Wiki and other places, hardly waiting time to befall the bed ... 

 

Oh yes, there was a brandy in glass ... and Princess pancakes ... and good time with family ... 

 

Today is plan to try to finish rudder circle and little "hinge" above, and to continue with make up 

 

 

[NenadM]

Two patient hours full of fight with thin and little devils, and it is done, step by step.

Ring is made of wood, little "thing" above from cooper foil. All painted in my version of bronze color

With Einhell tool I made half-rings from 1mm thin veneer


Glued with CA. It is still too thick and too wide



After glue gets dry, thinning process starts





When visualy get look as on CS ( ok, near as ) black painting all.



Cooper thing made me pretty nervous, expressing his own will, but at the end I win



And then I made my "bronze" color mixing black gold and orange acrylic



And final look

Edited October 13, 2014 by Nenad M

[NenadM]

And appetite grows ... paint or not in bronze hinges and rivets on outside waterports ? On CS they are black covered. But in dark old bronze, them can be a little more visible in contrast to black surface them layed

Hmmmmm

Very nice work, my friend!  I really enjoyed the work on the detail for the rudder ring.  Your ad hoc macro lens is very cool, too;  It reminds me of the views from stereoscopic microscopes in college...

[NenadM]

Root of idea with this ad hoc tool is somewhere in my childhood and experiments I made with microscope toy I had, discovering new usage of its parts ... creative-destructive approach ...

No work on Her this weekend - last (?) garden works, car washing, grass cutting, lunch and evening with relatives, usual family stuff ... planing one day trip to Novi Sad town 80km from Belgrade for tomorrow ... and thinking that time comes for research again small outside bullwark parts through plans and pictures

[popeye the sailor]

didn't envy you with your coal situation .........I remember the day when we had to bring in the wood.  the ring came out really nice!  great job.........rudder assembly looks super! 

[NenadM]

Thx Denis. I remember 1993 and the greatest hyperinflation ever ... my place (Umka) is on river Sava, and couple of us take a boat early in the morning, go on other bank to "borrow" a couple of m3 of wood to heat our homes ... kids were 2 and 4 years old, and me and admiral earn monthly about 100€ sum. And that were among highest monthly income, we both worked in bank ... that were really hard times ...

Now, this little kid of 2 years, tomorrow start with master study in Novi Sad 80 km from home, and we are preparing him and us for this situation. It is much easier because He is 23 now, not 18-19, but ... one little bird spread wings to fly from nest ...


Can not work on CS this days ... somebody must calm him, then calm admiral, then calm him again, and to act strength ...

[popeye the sailor]

we still have one home.......already went through the initial shock from the first one.  I patted him on the back one day......looking over his room,  I said......."my table would look good over there".........he knew I was kidding with him.   truth be told,  we will probably keep it as a bedroom when the time comes....for the grand kids....or should something happen.

 

you've persevered....which brought you to this day.  I'd say you folks did quite well    congratz!

[NenadM]

As I wrote above, little research was done - including C-plans, Lou`s, Matt`s and mine photos

 

Subject - outside content on bulwarks

 

For purpose of research, and to accurately mark position of any part, I had to divide model to sections A,B,C and D, and to separate each in three different color horizontal "layers"

 

Document is made in *.doc (4,25 MB)  and in *.pdf  ( less than 1 MB) format, and I ll try to attach it. If attaching do not succeed, and if anybody is interested to improve or to correct this material, I ll be glad to send him by private e-mail

 

Here is in *.pdf

 

ANALIZA.pdf

 

And here is material look

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are visible another deviations between C-plans, old and new photos. some parts are missing, some are added ...

 

 

 

 

[rfolsom]

Great way to organize your research, my friend.  I initially cut some detail in "A, yellow" but filled it in.  This is the area I'll be focusing on after the rudder.

[NenadM]

This is also some kind of personal check list not to forget something to make. I tried in "classic" way, but lost myself soon couple of times, particulary by missknown names of parts and missunderstand of nautical terms. So I use method from my office suitable for complex comparative analyses of law matter. I am very familiar with MSWord tables, drawing tools and insert pictures issue ... so it was tehnicaly easy, but takes almost whole afternoon

Now it is 95% clear what have to be done. In my scale, there are some really small almost invisible parts, but according to C-plans, SOMETHING IS ATTACHED TO !!! And naturaly, next question is, as ussual - HOW TO. And there is also new thing to think about where I am not in shipyard

[NenadM]

Analyzing further, I realised that I am right in front of the door of possible future failure Zone. Boomkins, cats ... these elements stand out of hull surface and they are very exposed to accidental damage due to negligence. It comes a bit early I expected. That means, and seems like, that ... huh ... I have to be extremly carefull from now until finish

Or boomkins and cats have to be extremly strong

Hmmm
