Nice,

[NenadM]

Thank you David. Your work was inspiration for me to try "microscopic" work

And next is ...

Wonderful work, my Friend;  You have definitely delved into the "microscopic realm".  These four sheaves are all different sizes, and at different angles;  will you be reproducing all of this?

 

Eagerly awaiting....

 

~Bob

[NenadM]

Thank you Bob, you are so kind.

Here are first four





As you can see, sheaves are not equial ...



In this lifetime I am not sure I can do it better

All eight sheaves finished, started with mounting them , and - WRONG OPOSITE ANGLE OF SHEAVES ON BULLWARK. Upper top of sheaves turned to stern ?!?!

 

Nenad, what are you thinking of ?

 

Not big deal, little putty, and wrong drilled holes are fixed, and mounting will folow next time

 

Here is "how to" part, if somebody is interested

 

General notice - work only with small speed of Dremell. It goes slowly, but much precise with full control, and without danger to launch sheave somewhere

 

Little hole 0,5 mm is first step

 

 

Turn piece vertical, and with same tool, slowly widening it to down, cut whole to down. Work on both sides if strip at same time

 

 

Do not cut piece still. If,you do, it will be very hard to hold piece and to control it. Change tool, and slowly fit thicknes and round corners

 

 

Change tool again, and now slowly cut little "trench" enough deep that you can separate piece by light moving left-right

 

 

Use precise and strong pean or something, change tool again, and slowly fit other two angles and thickness

 

 

After a while, there are all eight

 

And you are ready to make some new mistake

Nicely done Nenad and thanks for the tutorial.  You keep that up then pretty soon you'll be an expert metal worker.

 

Cheers,

Thank you Bruno. It is supprise for me too, considering I am a baby builder comparing to real masters on MSW

Could be that we've drank to much of that shumadia of Nenads

Is there such a thing as too much?   The only guideline I've ever heard is: "Avoid strong drink.  It can make you shoot at tax collectors, and miss."

Only when it make ya feel bad is it too much.

[NenadM]

"Shumadia tea" is also very good in strong winter when you come home deep frozen ... and after working in the yard removing fallen snow (in my case, after cleaning entrance to garage and 80m of street - to the next corner in picture below -if I have to go somewhere with car)

 

Today, sheaves are mounted. A couple of times I losed them on table, and lose much time to find them ... great fun ...










AAAAAAAA!!!!

There are eight more sheaves inside bulwarks!!!



And those beats have to be much precise ( no color to cover mistakes)

Ha, idea !!!

When somebody want to see my model, at first I'll give him Shumadia tea

Devil, devil

Have you thought about blackening and then remove some of the black to make them look worn or patina look ? This might help with any mistakes you might see.

 

John

 

Try dipping them in the Shumadia tea first   

 

John

[NenadM]

Hey, John

It is better to dip me in Shumadia tea.

On photos above is only preliminary painting. Experimenting on rudder, I found interesting method to give "metalic" look of desired piece (little drop of gold acrylic). For now, when I finish (one day) all outside fittings, idea is to make final outside hull painting, with applying "metallic touch to all metal parts, including sheaves.

Weathering of model is subject of continuous background thinking process, and for now it seems that final decision will be made when finish all decks houses pumps, and all other what belong there, before starting with masts

But, brain multitasking can lead us to strange streets ... our brains are not dual/quad etc etc-core ... thinking to try to find "brain cleaner" to speed up my low memory ...

Probably "wet" version ...

Just found good receipt for all who is interested

Not to forget, little magic and mythology is neccessary !!!!!

Edited November 7, 2014 by Nenad M

[mtaylor]

The recipe I saw yesterday said to boil... boil brandy?  That would ruin the reason for drinking brandy!!!!

[NenadM]

Mark, beside goes some chemistry (and magic), and there is something in taste, too

This post is designed as a personal reminder, what of little sensitive and simillar parts not to forget to make and mount later, considering that some parts ( such as cats, bumpkins etc) can be easily damaged if I make them now

 

1. Bumpkins ( with chains)
2. Cats
3. Anchors
4. Rudder chains
5. Fragile fences on fore and aft deck

In Belgrade, in this time of year, weather have to be 0-5℃ with "maybe" snow

Last week (and next rwo as forecast said) we have spring time

Today temperature was 20℃ and I spent all day (until sunset at 16h) in yard fighting with chaos that left after cutting trees couple days ago.

I turned heating system about 19:00 only half of hour, only because Admiral asked for

And evening is mine ( and Her Majesty's)

I analyzed next move: little "rings" which are "seeded" here there and everywhere around outside bulwark and on the upper part of hull, and concluded next:

In my scale, them all have to be between 0,5 and 1 mm

Them all had "ring" function and ring shape - to catch something on them: chain, rope, or eye/block pa rt etc etc

All of them have their names and basicly different construction and function and look ... but ... at my scale, this is not possible (for me) to follow and to reproduce accurate - those little ants are less than 1mm in diameter !!!! Mission impossible

So, simpliwfying time !

I decided that all of them will be the same, as smaller as I am able to make, and after little experimenting, factory starts

Them all will be black acrylic covered, and them will be cuted to proper lenght before mounting

Material used: telephon cooper wire



30 pieces made in two hours, no one dissapear on desk!?!?

A nice bit of tedious work, Nenad.   It seems sometimes that there's more repetition than anything else, doesn't it?    I hope all is well and you can spend sometime with Her Majesty.  But, also hope the Attorney Strike will end in a positive way and soon.

[NenadM]

... It seems sometimes that there's more repetition than anything else, doesn't it?

 

 

Just like that, Mark. 12 waterports, more than 50 stanchions, not to mention all deadeyes blocks, coopering and planking plates ... But, it is said: "You asked for it, now swim !!!"

 

Attorney strike is not over, some of our demands are accepted, but there is full set of lies, demagogy, cheating and media spin made by goverment, so we continue with paralise of court system. Media are censured, and under silent and hidden goverment pressure not to spoke about our demands (!?!?!) or worst - auto censured, and this time basic human rights issues are in first plan. Right of every man to chosse if he want to make contract by his own or right of every man to chosse if he wanrs to engage legal help. Not to be forced to engage ONLY and ONLY notary closed to political party of Minister, and to be forced to pay 3x more than to attorney - and the worst - not to pay to budget account - to pay to notary personaly (!?!?!) and by that way indirectly to the political party of Minister

 

Something like that was not seen in history of democratic society. Even in dictatorship or in hard comunism

 

I can write a novel, but here is no place for this (except some notes here and there from time to time)

After finishing chaos in homeyard,



after lunch and little napping, take glass of good white wine, and go down to Her.

First I had to remove ALL hairs of cat I found on table ;@#$@@#!$$(

Obviosly he had a cleaning party under my collection of beats I made yesterday...

I do not intend to write turorial how to make this, because I learned this on MSW, and this would not be honest

So, first 18 are mounted

Not to forget, Mark, there are also seeded on decks !!!!

Here is result of tonight work. I intend to paint all of them in black acrylic

And to mention something for members of CS fleet. Position of those pieces are slightly different on C-plans, on Lou's pictures, and on pictures I collected and have got (thanks Matt again!)

And another notice for Bob and other with fragille bulwarks ... another method have to be applied, if somebody is crazy enough as me to make this details. It is more than easy to drill allthrough bullwark, and to make ugly hole inside, and problem how to fix it. My massive and thick bullwarks take this nice and easy

Looking good!!!  It's amazing how many ring bolts there are.  It reminds me that I need to go back and take a look at my hull.  I think that i have them all, but your post makes me think I might have missed some around the bow.

 

Hopefully the strike will end soon and in a positive way.

 

Take care,

marc

[NenadM]

In yard ? I agree

 

 

Thank you for your kind words Marc. One eye in bolts, another in your carving masterpeace

 

Still in dilemma what to follow - C-plans, Lou's pictures or present stage. Maybe to summarize all of them and to overload model with bolts ?

 

Another

Eyebolts are looking great, my Friend, as are the sheaves;  I am still working on my rudder, but I think I need to start doing multiple side projects in order to overcome the "mental block" I am facing right now... .

 

Cheers,

 

~Bob

[NenadM]

Suggestion for side project:

Hunting of runaway pig
...
investigate way how to use beer can without can
...
How to escape Admiral's ideas when she saw you do not progress....

Edited November 18, 2014 by Nenad M

[Redbeard]

Those are some great ideas Nenad!

[NenadM]

Two hours alone at home, and I was inspired to try some experiments.

Question about "boomkin and chain" bothered me a while.



When to make, when to mount, and HOW to hell to make it not longer than 1 cm with four rings at upper side and two on down side, to be movable ....

Last couple of days while making bolts idea come, and I decided to try to make it

Main actor in next photos are boomkin and chain, not ropes, not dead eye, them all are there onli for test purpose














It seems to be ok one day, when I get little more skills

And patience

If somebody is interested I ll be glad to write little tutorial "how to". Sure, if somebody have anither idea how to make this in easier way, I ll be very thankfull
