That's a great family to get you a present like that Nenad. And some fine looking chain for being home-made. Nice job!

 

Cheers

[mtaylor]

The chain gets even better...  beyond impressive....  Wow!

[NenadM]

Thanks Marc and George.

 

It is easy. Just little playin with a thin but strong twisted netting thread, lighter to burn hairs, acrylic color and acrylic warnish to give basic color, hardness and longitudinal elastic, and , carefly making knoths, not squezze hard, then extend "chain" little until little holes appear, and gold acrylic over.

 

Real thing will come when riggong chains come to line, I.am not sure about self-made chains for that purpose

[CaptainSteve]

Let me add my congratulations for your chain-work ... and add a 'Happy Birthday', as well !!

[dgbot]

Nenad I have the number for a place with a padded cell and comfortable straight jackets.  Do you want me to give them a call?

Excellent work your chain looks great.

Hi Nenad,

I've been lurking on your build of the CC.  I like that you went with the "gold" plates.  I am eventually going to build another Cutty and am going to do the same thing.  I just found some brass rolls on eBay from China that are .10mm thick, which is the same as the Amati copper plates.  I have ordered some and am going to look into what I'm going to do about the rivets.  I REALLY like what Nils does.  I might do that.

Good job on your CC!

[Piet]

Happy birthday Nenad.  Your chain looks awesome!

 

Cheers,

[mtaylor]

What was I thinking earlier.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!    

[rfolsom]

I'm glad I looked in;  Happy Birthday, my Friend!  Hope you are doing well, along with the Admiral (and of course Hothead and Princess..)  I am following your scratch-built chain;  very innovative!   (many more "Hmmms....)

 

All the best,

If your talking about the stuff I think you are I've got some for my model got the idea from Dafi. But befor applying it you turn it over its possible to create raised rivets on the front by using either a roller used in leather work. Not the stitch punch, or even a blunt pin. On a sheet of har rubber like neoprene. Then when it's turned over to the facing side hay presto lots of lovely rivets. And you won't even have to fire up the forge. If you want I can send you a length to try out just pm me.

 

Almost forgot Happy birthday and I hope the admiral is feeling better.

As I see, this is not bashing, Cap, rather improvisation

Wellcome Salty. Would you be kind to post me in PM link you found ? To have it when time comes

 

 

Happy birthday Nenad.  Your chain looks awesome!

 

Cheers,

 

Thank you Piet. Trick is to overcome natural twisted structure of any thread, which I did applying several layers of acrylic varnish and color

 

What was I thinking earlier.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!    

 

Thank you MArk, I was wondering how do you succeed to follow and to contribute all logs where are you participant. Do you spent 28 hours a day in front of PC ? Any log I visit, here are you, and I learn and enjoy reading your comments

Thank you Bob. I hope to see soon extension of your three logs. Your brilliant CS log keep a piece of fault for changing my attitude to my own model. Yes, things go forward ... and backward ... and forward ... that is life.

Hey Denis, I asked Her before - "Do you want Swarowski or something ?" She answered - "No, make something by yourself", So, what to do - her wish is my command

Thank you Izzy very much

 

 

Not working on Her, a couple of torned and disorganized days which I just can not overcome and forcibly put obligations in schedule. Next is knothing and making over 50-70 cm of chain, to have it same for anchors later, and as reserve

 

I hope to continue at the end of week. Only have time to visit MSW to see what is new

[Salty Dog]

С Днем Рождения Nenad!

This is the stuff I'm talking about:

Izzy thanks very much for your offer.  I'm ok waiting for the stuff.  I really appreciate it!

[NenadM]

Thanks Salty!

 

Returning from town aftet two meetings, and traffic collapse ( 4 km of highway lasts almost hour) I made/prepare threads and left them dry well, hanging on workshop window. Had to tell Admiral and Princes this is not garbidge

 

Using some connections, we shortened two months lasting, medical scanner waiting period to tomorrow morning, with maybe biopsy for next week, depends of results. Nervous time

 

Thinking ... which and what kind is this country, when you have to wait two months for diagnose? What with poor people and honest workers who do not have conections? Why, to hell, anybody has to use, even to think about using, any connections if he regulary pays his taxes and has health and social insurance. It makes me very very angry. In Serbia you have to find connections even for birth delivery ... Why would any of university or college educated kid want to stay here? I support my kids in their decission to find their luck at another side of border

[GLakie]

Hate hearing about that Nenad. You have to wonder what goes through the minds of those people in charge.  This country has a lot of similarities in that respect. I think the people in charge of government, should be made to live just like the majority of other people. 

 

Cheers

[SawdustDave]

Best wishes to you my friend through your "nervous time" waiting for the results of your tests.

Dave

[popeye the sailor]

even here in the states,  with the system we have..........some still have to wait.   it's a sad state of affairs     I wish you luck,  and hope that it's not serious.

[NenadM]

Scanner results are not good, biopsy is schedulled for thursday, ... we hope that surgery and therapy can resolve this situation. Next week will bring more clear situation

 

I am not sure when I shall be able to continue with CS, so it seems that some kind of stand-by will be here, except ... I must do something if I dont want to go out of mind. Home must keep on livin, office must keep on working, life must go on. If I find time and will, I'll keep on. Admiral is strong woman, I am strong, we raise kids to be strong, and we will fight with this

 

In mean time, I'll keep on to follow news on MSW

 

Considering this is build log, I'll be thankfull if you could be pleased to use PM if you want to chat/coment/post about.

Edited April 30, 2015 by Nenad

[GLakie]

All my hopes for a good outcome Nenad!  We all do what we have to for family, and the CS will be there when you're ready.

 

Cheers

[IgorSky]

Hi Nenad!
Happy Birthday! 
Good luck always and everywhere for you!Good Luck!!! Ж)

Best Regards!

Igor.

[dgbot]

I pray that your biopsy comes up clean.  What do they think you have.  If it was not for my health insurance my fight would have cost me a half a million dollars. When I was at the Hope Lodge my heart went out to those who lost their ins and had to have medicare.  They were alway doing battle every time they went to the hospital.  My Dr. is one of the leading experts on my form of cancer and made me go through a two stage transplant.  Medicare will only let them do one stage saying the second stage is not necessary. May god bless you and help you along.

Thank you Dave. Not me. Admiral (post #2092). I wish to be me instead Her

Your PM box must be full Nenad..... Do you know how to clean it out?

I hope things get better for you soon.

Nenad,

 

I suggest using the MSW Sick Bay for the updates: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6504-msw-sick-bay/

 

My heart goes out to you, we're having our medical issues (Admiral's) and it's taking lots of time to sort it all out.

[GLakie]

I don't tend to talk about problems with me or mine much as we all have our crosses to bear, but as Dave already knows, I've been going through about the same thing with my Admiral. Don't know what it is with this last 8 or 9 months, but it seems a bunch of us here, are in the same boat. (no pun intended) All we can do is pray for the best for ourselves and each other, as do I for everybody here.

And to fight !!!!!

[GLakie]

Yup! ------ That goes without saying Nenad. As long as there's fight, there's hope.

[clearway]

Hope it all works out Nenad good luck- we need you to lead Bob astray on his cutty build when he returns to it!

[NenadM]

A few very hard days facing with totally disintegrated health and hospital system here ( eleven hours waiting in front of different doors, one whole night, and finally after 4 days of hell Admiral is in hospital waiting for biopsy. Princess is in downtown, Hothead returned to his study as his main duty. The greatest success in whole our life is - we made and raised strong children. Coming back from hospital I noticed that grass goes wild because I was occupied, and after fighting grass, wishing to save myself from "bad-end movies" I make in my head those days, now fully understanding new meaning of words "sound of silence" in empty home, I decided to finally make my windlass chains.

After several nervous attempts and broken ropes, it seems I hit it

Here is first 20cm of chain




And on this point, again aesthetic question arise.

On C-plans, as on Lou's pictures, chains are mounted on windlass, move to the back over winch and through pipe go down under deck



Same as on one old photo I found




But, after time Lou's pictures were made, it seems that chains are removed from windlass, and, again different shown in different periods photos, they are layed in different part of main deck







On younger photos it can be seen that pipes through which chains pass down are missing. I think that this pipes have to be nice detail on model

I do not know reason why they are moved - probably visitors often faltered

After short time facing with dilemma how and where to lay chains, I decided to follow C-plans and Lou's pictures
