More experimenting, better and better

(Her Majesty told me: you are playing, stop playing and pay attention to me!!! I ignored Her ... )

And a little "problem" rised up:

On CS, boomkins are movable, and when not in use, them are in position parallel with bulwark.

In proces of makeing hinge, I did it well, but during soldering, solder do not want to listen to me, goes where it wants, inside hinge too, and stoned whole construction. So, considering, if boomkin is about 10mm long, hinge is about 1,5mm in diameter, all is painted black, and what is the point for so little boomkin to be movable, if I do not want my model to be of any competition where this is significant eventualy for some points.

Who, except you friends, will be able to see this?

Well, not movable

And here is today results

It looks very good, Nenad !!! I wouldn't make it movable, either.

[mtaylor]

I agree with Steve.  It looks great and at this scale, if someone tries to move there is no telling how much damage they could do.

[Piet]

What a novel idea in fabricating the boomkin.  Not movable is great, why go overboard with details you may never demonstrate anyhow. (pun intended)

 

Cheers,

[keelhauled]

Nenad,

 

Wonderful work!  I'm amazed that your are able to make all of those loops in the wire.  That would be a good tutorial!  Although I agree that I wouldn't make it movable, I do think that the hinges were a great detail.  

 

You drive me to work towards making a better model! 

 

Keep up the wonderful work!

Fantastic work, as always... Is your microscope for sale?

[rfolsom]

Nenad;  If you keep making this consistent fine work; I'll be too embarrassed to show mine...

 

I'll have to find Piggy and send him to Belgrade...

 

[NenadM]

Thank you friends for likes and nice words

It is morning, drinking moorning coffee, smoking morning ciggarets, watching and reading news in world, Serbia and MSW, still in pyjama, Admiral still sleeping, and thinking ...

Somebody ought to forbide me to think, it can be dangerous ...

As progressing in skills, looking backward, you can see many places thinking " that can be done better", madness catch you and you did better and you are happy and proud of your work, and after a while, again ... Hmm that can be done more better, ...

And that is realy dangerous, you can bump in endless circle doing things better and better ...

Same thing in my job ...

Spend a lot of time to write complex prosecution or appelation act or contract, read it ... oh how clever was I ... after a while read again and redo it in more clever way ... and after a while ....

But after 30 years of practice, I learned in my job where and when to stop.

Do I need another 28 years of ship modeling to learn where to stop?

You think, to make some mess?

 

I do not need piggy for mess. I am here, and this is quite enough to produce mess... Yesterday I do not know what happened with hand tools ... each of them show very strong will to jump to floor. Some of them did it very successfuly, breaking nice thinny tops ... and little addings for Dremell were apsolute champions in jumping from table ... some kind of jumping championship was there ?

 

Or this was wine ?

 

 

 

But, BBQ is ready and waiting ...

Fantastic work, as always... Is your microscope for sale?

Simply Chinesse soldering magnifier 3x. 5€ price.

 

Very usefull, considering my eyes and present problems to see clear little parts without. 50 year I use glasses to see far objects, and dioptry with years go down, so today I almost do not need them, but close up sight start ro be a problem. But I strongly refuse to have and to use another pair of glasses for close work, until I am able to read books abd written text without. And that chinese magnifier is good solution, also usefull to keep safe your eyes when you use Dremell to fit this little things

I think Bob, situation is just reverse. I made my rudder, full of pride, and then I see yours, and I have to run in a mouse hole to hide and shame

[popeye the sailor]

great looking boomkin Nenad...........once rigged, it won't be moveable anyway.  just chimed in to let you know what a sweet job you did

 

now comes the hard part........there is only a fore and aft set,  I believe........but they all need to be made to look alike!    that's a challenge in itself!

[omarcs]

I like your little rings. Currently, my rings are just circles glued on various items. This looks like a good way to really get the rings attached into the ship. I have some very small diameter wire that should work.

 

Thanks!

Hothead come home for weekend, and I rather spend time with him than downstairs. So, tutorial will follow, and then also a way how to make four equial boomkins. For now: material used : telephony wire, one staple, and regular 220v wire 2,5mm with many thin hears inside. Real bashing work

I promiss to wrote this before RRMartin finish Winds of winter

... That would be a good tutorial! ...

Hey, Marc, if you are still interested, considering this is playing and improvisation, tutorial is on this link (I think there is a right place for such a playing)

"Stop playing around, Nenad, get serious and make some visible progres" She said to me

 

I said, o.k. tomorrow, turned light of and left Her to wait for Bob's piggy to appear

Nenad,

 

Thanks for the tutorial.

 

Also thanks for exposing me to that forum.  I wasn't familiar with it.  Lots of good information!

[rfolsom]

Wonderful work on the boomkins,  my friend!  I'll probably install mine late in the build...

 

Best Always,  Bob

[NenadM]

Spend evening making more bolts I ll need ...

And little box for bolts ...

Obviously, still playing, thinking about .... when to mount boomkins ... did I made mistake today when didnt bye and bring home new dog old 2 months, who will reach 50-70kg when get adult age (Balkan shepard called sharplaninac)




Modeling is full of hidden traps, if you chose wrong line of moves

3-4 very strong reasons for "Yes" and 20-30 small and weak reasons for "No" including 5 semi-semi reasons for "not now"

When they grow or live together, there is no problem. My present dog has 16 years and althrough all 16 years, there is always some cat in house. ( if not cat, then there are mouses , and literrary then Admiral lives on top of the roof - I am not kiddin, she lost her mind when see mouse, and jump to highest place she can reach, and dont want to go down until I catch/kill mouse including next safety hour ... this can last hours ... cat in house resolved this forever)

Go forward ...

Preparing to finish outside bulwark content, listening unknown to me music of King Crimson ( not listed on album  "At the court of Crimson King") , 8 missing outside sheaves more are done



What next ?

A ha  !!!



Success ... small small small 





Made of BBQ sticks. They are rounded, hard structure,  and easy to mount in round drilled whole

To notice something: Those water ports are not presented on C-plans (?) and in lifetime of CS they vary by number and places they are set. Facing this fact, I chose today look of CS, and their today position

You're pushing the details to the limit, Mr. Nenad; and I like this!

[NenadM]

Thank you, Bob. That is only way I see to mask mess I made ( twisted main deck, kell line not in line, too thick bulwarks etc etc etc

That is strategy I learned in my job: when you are in weak position, make some fogg, light effects, and overload situation with crowd of issues without any point but which looks as they have some point, all for turning attention from your weakness

And after that, arise something meaningfull to turn your oponent from balance ...

But Judges are not fools, and followers of this log also are not fools.

There is something in playing around, testing and upgrading own skills, and preparing yourself to really tricky part (metal fittings on masts and yards)

BTW, when I was playing with my first boomkin, I remembered myself how rigging is fragille and sensitive work, and was a bit scarry ...
