Great work.

Thank you Mark to your support and faight. It is very meanfull for my further work. Until you try, and try a bit more, and a little bit over that, you could not know what you are able to do

 

Thank you Geof, I am sure that your hinges will be better, considering in mind that you are more dedicated than me

 

Thank you David, yes, this is time for little break, forced by two day lassting bussines trip (today and tomorrow)

 

Thank you Bob, I am waiting for your hinges. I poke you in ribs with my ideas, and you answer to this regulary with better job than I do. And not to forget - there are three rudders waiting for you !!!!!

 

Thank you Brian, I wish I have your skils, things would be much easy

 

Thank you Juleslucas. Main thing with choice of  materials is - can it be soldered by my tools and my poor skils. At same time, material has to be thin enough to scale, but enough strong not to fall apart during drilling ( as cooper do in my hands). I found some nice brass metal parts of folders, but it just - do not work. Also trying with aluminium can, also did not work. One day when I enter to silver soldering, things will be different, I hope

 

Thank you, CaptainSteve, I just posted in linked topic, and if you think that copy of  link is not enough, let me know to edit post

 

Hard working day, start with driving 170 km, 8 hours of meeting, and after return in hotel room, working until 20:00. It rains outside, so my planed walking is cuted off, so I ll probably go to sleep to rest for tomorrow

I sure enjoy your posts and like the work you do. Thanks a lot I am learning a lot just following this line. I do have a question. Is this the place to ask? I am also building a CS kit and I don't think I am going to enough copper plates they are 5x15mm. Do you have any idea where a guy could buy some extra? Will appreciate any help.

Johnroy,

 

Your best bet for additional copper plates is to cut them from a roll of copper tape. You should be able to get it from Michaels or some place like that. I got mine on-line at http://www.anythinginstainedglass.com/metals/foil.html 

 

You can find the width you need and cut it to the length you want. If you want to show nailhead details, you can get a pounce wheel from Micromark and emboss them.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks,

 

Harvey

Johnroy, thanks for nice words. Here on MSW is presented interesing line of learning you can notice following topics: A learn from B, B learn from. C, C learn from D. D learn from E, E pick something from B ... interesting brain network. As a spider net.

About cooper ... in my place, I found cooper foil 0,5 mm in roll without adhesive, too rough for precise work and that was thinest I found

Online - I have no idea, jusy I am not bying anything online

Try a supplier for stained glass windows.  They will also have a larger range of widths as well.

Not working this days, mainly 3 reasons: 1. Ants 2. My good friend and client passed away 3. New smartphone occupies my attention two last days

Edited September 8, 2014 by Nenad M

[mtaylor]

I'm not going to like that post as 2 out 3 are bad news.  Smartphone is good news. 

[popeye the sailor]

well.......at least you have the smart phone,  to take your mind off the ants.........sad to hear about your friend 

[NenadM]

All four hinges finished and ready for mounting when I return from bussines trip on monday and thursday.



BTW new camera on new phone (HTC desire 310) has 5 MP as old one (HTC wildfire), but HAD NO autofocus (!?!?!? @#$(%$#$), so I do not know (still) how to make bright and clear macro pictures (jet). Little disapointment, but it is impossible to know before you try camera after bying

Thanks for the help you guys are great. I think I just might make it with my current copper plates. I have held off doing the bow but with your suggestions I will get copper tape cover the front of the bow and plate up to it. I think that should work. My problem was trying to turn the corner on the bow with 5x15mm plates, I couldn't make it look right like the pictures in the plans (my plans are in Italian), will let you know. Do you think I'm being to fussy? Will keep you posted.

After working late in my hotel room, there is time to rest ... and how shipocholic rest ? .... I was watching some pictures of CS ... and thinking how it will be good to to have this pictures near me during work, without having laptop on workbench or near (I could not like laptop dusted or soldered or glued . Bindy, do you read this ?). Regular way to have printed b/w part of/pictures is presented downstairs in workroom as needed, but color photos are significant to have sometime.

 

And idea comes

 

In all home, we have unlimited home wireless internet ... and my cellphone is attached to home WiFi all time I am home, even I am in shipyard (use it as FM radio or mp3 player, and for photos, and for calls during work). With new android system 4.2.2., quadcore processor and with unlimited fast ( for Serbian conditions)  internet, it become very elegant and feasible to have all my pictures uploaded on Google Drive, and it is easy to review, even to download  particular one I need in very short time

 

And here is another usefull but booring job in front of me  - to upload all of them - whole collection I gathered, all bit more than 100 MB

[NenadM]

Dissapointment ... from HTC ... their customer service confirmed indirectly -no way to take better pictures with this phone, and that is some kind of cheat comparing what they declare. Must find another way for pics to my log

2 trip days somehow grow to 3, Admiral waited with some life-retirement insurance story, and plans how to celebrate kids diplomas with 100 people in two days in our house, in office waiting full inbox and desk with different jobs, another attorney strike in Belgrade begin ... I went downstairs to Her even this evening.

This was tonight headache






abd missfit try



But when this peace felt apart I get idea what I have to do or not to do ...

And must do something for better photos

BTW, there is little difference between C-plans and present stage. In present stage this last hinge is horizontal, in C-plans - NOT


And position of hinges toward waterline is slightly different too

And what will be ?

BTW 2 - this thing with photos on Google drive works very well even much better than I expect

BTW 3 - soldering of this little pieces every time goes better and better

Edited September 18, 2014 by Nenad M

[NenadM]

Yeah ! Big step forward after 10 days of thinking how to



And start of mounting hinges

I'm sorry also to read of your friends' passings. In troubled times, model making is good therapy. Congratulations on your children's successes, though.
