She looks really good, Nenad.

[popeye the sailor]

looking at that last picture Nenad........you have nothing to worry about!   she looks great!   I love that deck........you did a really sweet job on it..........and the bulwarks really set 'er up.   move ahead.........no more lament   

 

you have your hothead........I have my version as well.   just helped him get his first car......used.  he's driving me crazy......cares more about that stereo than anything else!   I'm ready to hang him by his big toes on the yardarms! 

[NenadM]

I read this and fall from chair laughing ... 

 

I can`t wait to come to final painting of bulwarks around white panels, but first I have to make dead-eye and nail holders, and paint them all with same color, and on that point arise question of  to bye / to make dead eyes, how to mount them, and when thinking about it, I think if I mount this now, all construction on inside bulwarks will be in dangerous to be damaged when coopering, so, line of moves seem to look : 1. painting deck 2. painting rails on outside bulwarks 3. make rudder 4. coopering of hull and rudder 5. mounting rudder 6. making final stand for Her ( construction for stand), and only after that - great come back to deck.

On the way to proper / desired color of deck ( nice and thin shade of lipstick color). Needs whitening, but tomorrow when it all dry

 

I am amassed by simple magic of acrylic paints - just tiny transparent layers of pure/mixed colors make miracles, and all caulking lines are still there. Birthday present and little playing ... yeah !

 

 

 

And the pest in action ...

That is a really unique color. What is it?

David B

Artistic combination of red, black and brown acrylic paints, very thin with more water to be transparent, and several different layers until I have gotten what I am looking for

This is not finished jet

Just remember that he may move or hide your tools and ding them up.  But never, never put a scratch in the paint on HIS bike.    :)  

 

On the serious side, you've got a lot to be proud of, Nenad. 

[Bruno Siljeg]

Nenad, and your work is brilliant,I like it,It is an important work, and less beauty..

[NenadM]

Thank you all for nice supporting words on this lazy TV evening with sugared strawberries on table ... sometimes we all need to relax in peace, and empthy our brains, give our Admirals company watching some stuppidity

Edited May 11, 2014 by Nenad M

[NenadM]

Grass cutting, roses cutting, tightening a motorcycle chain, visit of neighbor, and finally at my own, putting first layer of weathering 

 

 

It seems that I am on right way, and it seems that there have to be one or two maybe three layers more to get color I have imagined

Two days drowned in crap all day, doing this and that, this and that, going here and there, here and there, with endless and pointless telephone calls, different job and home obligations, Court checking, pauses for coffee, driving through City, and what I'm exactly doing whole day ... I just .. I do not know ...

 

Today in "Greennet" trying to consolidate myself

 

 

 

Well ... I mainly know, but I have no idea where as before escape whole day, and when it comes before 21:00-22:00, when it's too late for some serious work in the shipyard

 

Must organize my time in better way ... that remains me to clever words spoken by my friend " ... there are periods in life when you are not master of your time ... success is - to get control of your time..."

 

How truth

First of two days of announced for hard rain ( forecast said: it will be more rainfall in this two days than a whole average May ...). So, we can expect to grow webbed between the toes, and branchiae on our backs ... 

Almost whole day jumping as a goat in down-town from one end to another trying to drown my car and myself (I hate umbrellas of any shape and type !!!), come to my dry home finally, and find some time for shipyard between Admiral`s cell phone malfunction and talking with locksmith about some repairs in home

 

Coloring of deck is finished, I think I have got exactly what I am looking for - mostly gray colored "weathered" deck ( try to imagine sea salt residues)  which penetrates "natural" wood color, with semi visible caulking and all boards ... This is my "artistic" approach and my feeling how it have to look at final stage. Decision was made - whole model will be weathered on some way, I do not know exactly how, but there is a lot of time until time for this come

 

I am not sure how HTC camera catches colors I have got under artificial lighting in my workshop, and here are photos bellow. This is it, and I can go further to paint white railings, fearing, fleeing from and delaying coopering job

You have done wonders with your deck keep it up.

[edmay]

Hello Nenad,Your perseverance. The tenacious way you tackled problems is finely paying dividend .A masterpiece is emerging. I like the color of the deck.Edwin.

[mspringer]

Wow Nenad, it looks really good.  It's been quite a journey!

 

Mark

[Piet]

Hello Nenad, she's looking really great, nice job!!

 

Cheers,

[mtaylor]

So if it had rained earlier, you would have had your colors earlier?????   Ok.. seriously that is some excellent work on the decking.  Looks fantastic. 

[NenadM]

Im attached to TV

The heaviest rains and floods in the past 120 years hit Bosnia and Serbia this week, killing three people, cutting off electricity and leaving several towns and villages isolated.

 

The three casualties, one of them a firefighter on a rescue mission, drowned in Serbia. The country declared a state of emergency in 18 towns and cities, including the capital, Belgrade.

Situation changes every minute

Eeek! Take care Nenad. Hope your residence is high and dry. And remind Hothead that motorcycles and high water don't mix.

Harvey

[mtaylor]

Be careful, Nenad.  Flash flooding is bad news.  And Harvey is right about motorcycles and high water.  Also cars and high water don't go together well either. 

[popeye the sailor]

Well,  I'm glad you've got artificial lighting.........with natural light,  you'd have an indoor swimm'in pool!   the decks look great...the seal coat will tell the whole story      they look awesome though!

 

sorry to hear about the weather........we're just getting over our wet spell.   the weather here has turned a bit better.   take care.....and don't go trust'in those ponds!

[dgbot]

May god be with you Nenad.  Flooding can be very bad news.  Please be careful.

David B

[NenadM]

Thx, we are high, safe and dry, but looking news ... water and floods in places never expected ...
