Hi Nenad,

I am back for a short visit here on MSW and am so glad to see your back on your scratch build.  Your metal work is coming along fine. She looks so good with all her furniture on the deck and now her masts are going up.  

 

Regards,

Scott

Thank you, Scott, for nice words. As I wrote earlier, in early stage of build I have big mistake which can not be resolved, and which I noticed after mounting 4000 foil strips as mynz metal under water line, except to start model from begining. Deck and deck rails are not paralell ... deck fence has different random height ... 

So, then I decide to overdetail Her to turn off attention of anybody who will se Her.

And that is simply - that.

Beside that, making this little beasts is chalenge! And fun.

All the best.

Final touch and weathering before thin varnish

Short pause in shipyard.

Job trip with little travel to see incredible Black River Monastery at south of Serbia, situated in deep wood on mountain gorge with steep cliffs ...

Monastery church is situated in cave, miniature hermitages and monk cells are around and partially drilled in stone, narrow passages as labyrinth, wooden terraces above the precipice .... all walled with stone ... 

Enjoy as I did!

Sounds very interesting.

Hello NenadM!

Fairly new to MSW and have been exploring all things Cutty Sark.  Have enjoyed catching up with your modeling project.  I started a model of Cutty Sark 40 years ago and am now ready to finish it now that I am retired.  Will be starting a build log shortly once I get myself organized. Black River Monastery looks very interesting, and thanks for sharing that.  I have visited underground monastic caves in Penza oblast, Russia (before war) so this sort of experience is very interesting to me.

All my best to you,

Ron

Hello Ron, and wellcome to MSW. I am glad if anybody is inspired by my attempts. Thank you for your nice words.

Here is last step I made today -dead eye 4mm dia

[NenadM]

18 dead eyes ready for next step

[NenadM]

At first, it seems Ok ... but ... too big! I dont lke it! Bad work.

I.have to rethink whole thing.

Not really, it's just how the sit because of the knot. 

Work out how they need to present the orientation. The lower deadeye has to have a single hole at the lowest part. So when attaching the line run this around the deadeye and instead of noting the two ends, use a much lighter line to bind the two ends together. 

Once installed, the lines need to be bound to the mast in the same order as they sit on the platform. 

It will still not look right until you do the rat lines to pull them in line. 

I really like your dedication to being fully scratch built including the components. 

I have to recognise that this is outside my current capabilities and accept that I have to source these for Cutty and Thermopylae.

Thank you Simon for yourt support and nice advises. My brain started to work somewhere in background to find solution. Right now I am somewhere between trying with smaller deadeyes and simulation of dead eyes. We'll se what will happen.

Al the best.
