Hi Nenad!
Several years ago I visited this village of Kusturica Kustendorf (Drevengrad) too.
This place is just amazing!

 

Mhm ... pretty, but it depends which is yout point of view, and depends what do you know about Kusturica except his real gret movies ... But here is not the place to discuss about this things

[NenadM]

How to, and result

That is a GREAT idea, Nenad ... remove the paper from a cigarette, throw away the tobacco and cut the paper into lengths for planking !!

You get a perfect clinker-planked boat AND you get to give up smoking !!

Amazing work, my friend.   Very impressive.

I tried this, my friend, but ciggarette paper is too thin and fragile in this scale, and having i mind I use diluted white glue, in this scale it shows two different difficulties - first - when get moisture from glue, it tears up; second - it is so thin that clinker relief can not be seen. So, after many experiments, I decided to use regular 80gr copy paper. Strong enough not to tear up, elastic enough to allow me to lay it and "tilt" ut  to left and right and lead it just the way I want paralel with previous planking line, thin and thick right enough to imitate clinker relief just as it has to be and to look like. When glue dry, it get additional strenght. Covering with thin white acrylic paint over give particular look I want

My occupationgrowns up. She is one year old now

Great picture with the lens.

I know a cheaper way to stop smoking, but hey, if this works for you, clincker on!!!

 

Right, it won't get any less, your occupation, she will be very much present ... sizewise too

Hey Nenad. 

 

It’s great to see you back at the workbench.  That’s certainly an ingenious method for doing the clinker hulls; which I’m certain is going to result in some very convincing ship’s boats.  

 

I can’t quite believe how quickly Rhea has grown.  She must be eating you out of house and home!

 

Cheers

Same to you Nenad,

Lovely rudder, or you been painting have your nails

[NenadM]

Thank you all, dear friends, for your intrest in my experiments.

I am afraid I shall not be able to spent more time than I wish with Her Majesty for couple of reasons (I think I mentioned that early)

Princes definitely have got employment certificate in one hospital in Germany for her specialization in anesthezy, and she is here at home only next 2-3 months. Having in mind that Hothead is also here at home couple of months, we all just want to spent as much is possible quality time together.  "Rhea the beast" also demands her time, my job also ... my social activities are reduced for next couple of months also, and  my hobby...

Also, cataract grows and make me some dificulties working with thiney pieces last two months. Operation is sheduled at the end of February, so this dificulty will be solved.

But I am still here on MSW, lookling what is new every day

Nenad,

You gotta do what has precedence. Right now it's your children, the beast, and whatever else comes first. Sorry to hear about the cataract problem, fortunately you can be helped though. Just drop a note from time to time, so we know you are a life and kicking!

 

Take care, and make the most of the little time you have now

[omarcs]

your work is always worth waiting for.

 

and now to go back to my little boats and add more detail.

Happy New Year nenad and also to your two children. Hope everything will work out for you.

 

Cheers,

Hi Nenad

[NenadM]

Oars for Captain's Gig finished and mounted

[mtaylor]

Wonderful work, Nenad, and they are so small.  Almost ship-in-a-bottle scale.

Thanks Mark. Couple of details for Captains`s Gig left, and then two more boats (both life boats) to go.

This will be much easier, because I decided to show in dinal look boats interior on Jolly Boar and Captain`s Gig, and clinker planking on Life Boats, which will be turned upsiede down. So, i do not have to do any work in Life Boars interior , still have to make clinker plates as much precise and clean as I can

I must admit that I am little borred with boats, and hardly wait to make something other

All the best my friend    

[Omega1234]

Hi Nenad

 

I also would like to echo everyone else’s comments about the lifeboats.  Top job and you must be really proud of them.

 

Having said that, you and your family must take precedence over Her Majesty and us at MSW.

 

Take care and good luck with the cataract.

 

Cheers.

Know the feeling Nenad.  Must resist the temptation to rush through these tasks once boredom sets in.  Suggest you have another fixture in progress at the same time.  Something you can switch back and forth to.

keep up the good work.

glad to hear your finally going to have your eyes taken care of.....you mentioned your problem some time ago.   take care of your family and Rhea........but most of all,  take care of yourself.  one cannot create,  unless one is truly happy.   you've done so much with this project......you've excelled and overcame every obstacle you've encountered.   for her Majesty to look so good,  you must have quite a desire to build her.  your efforts show in every aspect of this model.   I hope to see you in full production mode soon   

[NenadM]

Both completed

2 more to go!

[fnick]

Very impressive. Your perseverance paid off!
