Cutty Sark by NenadM

[NenadM]

Ok, situation is without significant changes, she seems to be a bit better, Hothead bang his head with rendering in Autocad and his laptop who don't want to listen him, Princess went to town to meet her frends, I went out from office about 19:00, and I decided to finish fore under deck space

 

 

Think it looks pretty good. Yes I know, central foredeck pillar is not in axe, but it can be resolved when I jump to the fore deck one of this days

 

It seems to be a pitty to visualy cover this space with WC, ladders and underdeck entrrance, but it has to be.

 

Nobody would be able to see a little piggy in pig-pen

The ladders will have to go there.Those are visual problems you'll encounter, that can't be fixed if you follow the ship's design Nenad. Some stuff will be hidden. She looks great, and I'm glad your Admiral is feeling better.

 

Cheers

It's good to  hear the Admiral is feeling a bit better.  As for the piggy.... we all will know he/she is there.

Looking mighty fine!  Sorry for the lack of posts.  I've been on the road since February.  Too much work!!

I see you are keeping the pigs and paint safe!  Making chain!!  So creative!

 

Love seeing your progress!

I know that, George. It was fun introducing he/she/it - piggy on stage, even only I and friends from MSW know that. Try to imagine this space covered with all sails and ropes above - ha ha ha - you wouldn`t see even windlas

Thanks George, Mark, Marc for your care about Admiral. Today I have briefing with doctor, some health signs go better, but whole state of her health is still very complex and difficult ... . I am deep in work therapy which Dr. Nenad ordered to himself (office, home works, taking care about her mother etc etc) and we just have to wait and to hope, and to believe in doctors

 

About piggy - I am sure that our friend Bob (rfolsom) will have no problems to find his runnaway pet - he/she/it is here , on my CS safe captured

Glad to hear about health side of things.

 

I hope your looking after the piggie ok :-) but Edwards Bowness from his booklet in 1959 seems to think they were chicken coops ‽ :-) can you make one side pigs and the other chickens then at least the crew will be fine at breakfast with eggs and bacon... ;-) take care

[NenadM]

Eggs and bacon .... mmmmmmm

 

Good idea for breakfast tomorrow

I am glad to read that the ladies in your life are getting much better. Hard to focus when our loved ones are not well.

 

I have seen model railroaders make very small chain by using small wire and then using pliers to make regular groves that look like chain links.

 

Traincat model sales has 52 links to inch, and 72 links per inch

 

Bluejacket ship crafters has chain too

[NenadM]

Thank you Omar, I'll keep this in my mind

[NenadM]

Finished work in City, waitin' for visiting time in hospital, sitting in a pub on raft on left bank on river Sava, opposite to Kalemegdan fortres on another bank of river. If I can be able to relax and enjoy, one of the best looking place in Belgrade for day and night go outs

 

 

Tremble what I'll see and find in hospital from early morning

Good luck Nenad! 

[Omega1234]

Good luck from me, too, Nenad!

[NenadM]

This you can see from pub

 

 

In front is one of the famous Belgrade hundreads pubs on water

I'll keep my hopes up that your hospital visit won't be terrible.  Lovely waterfront and any other occasion, you'd probably be very happy to sit there.

[NenadM]

She feels better than yesterday, still on deep intensive care. I told her she looks like an alien with all this pipes going into and outside, and she smiled

 

So, I feel much better, and after ride vacum cleaner and hunting some house dust, went down to CS

 

Wrong axe issue resolved much easier than I hope

 

What next ?... thinking, hmm, thinking, and it seems logical to do - cats

 

Measuring ... damn ... only 3,5x3,5 mm 3 cm long... and I like and want all three sheaves on top

 

What to do ?

 

I remembered Bob's "laminate" idea, and let's try it

 

Cut 7 pieces of vener, fit, glue,,sand, play with paint, and here is first testing Cat

 

 

So, I have to borrow Harry Poters magic wrand to.make in this scale : cleat, iron horn, "eyebais ror fare tuck ?" And Iron whisker !!!!!

 

And not to forget - carving !!!

 

 

This will be realllly interesting

Just at the moment I'd swap "everything" for a day sat watching the river. But that's my story.best wishes for yours. Great cathead.

[NenadM]

Thank Izzy, that was one of today's options, but my fishing accessories are in chaos since I re-discover ship modeling, and my bench is not, and answer was simple

 

Here is my fishing/thinking/hiding place on river Sava where I used to dissapear from time to time, about 500m from house (10 min of slow walk). Picture was taken 12 years ago, so forest on another side grows a bit, and my place is still here, unchanged

 

 

It was idea to build highway corridor from Belgrade to Adriatic Sea just over my place, and I am happy they chose another route

I'm glad your Admiral feels better Nenad. That a good looking cathead and view of the river.

 

Cheers

Would love to visit and spend time with you in these pubs with the great views.

[NenadM]

Morning coffee when you didn't sleep well ...

 

 

Genious picture, picked up somewhere on internet

 

Nice represents state of mind when body rised up, but head still stayed in bed. Kids come home over 00:00, talking untill 01:00, reading book to 02:00, wake up 06:30, if I can call this "wake up"

Edited May 24, 2015 by Nenad

[Izzy Madd]

You mean the first coffee of the day isn't supposed to look like that‽

 

I just thought it was my reflection...

[NenadM]

Just like that, Izzy. To see this in a coffee cup, you must be overdrinked or something else. But I like that idea. Imagine you realy see this there?

 

What a situation ! As in horror movies.

[GLakie]

When I wake up and my coffee stares back at me, I just go back to bed for a while longer. When it starts talking back,-----run!    

[dgbot]

My coffee speaks to me every morning sayimg wake up you need me a little stronger.

Cats looking good, Nenad;  The several different views on Campell are not consistent, though!  That was my biggest hurdle..

 

Hope family is doing well;  I wish everyone the best.

[NenadM]

This is just test, Bob. I am carefully analyzing your posts/pics also photos I collected with cats on it to find final solution, and to find out how to do their details ...

[Izzy Madd]

Just had a thought about your cat heads. As I'm messing around with a similar issue. That of blocks. But if you wanted that little more authenticity. Before attaching the out side pieces if you drilled a hole through where the pulley went then inserted a dowel or metal rod right through. Once you put on the outside pieces then part from the fact that they would either turn all at once or not at all you would have a cathead with pulleys. Hope this makes sense. If not let me know and I'll whip up some photos.

 

Izzy

[NenadM]

Thanks Izzy, please put some photos, and explane wider ( my english ...)

 

In mean time I`ll show some photos I picked

 

One is from Rfolsom`s log, b/w is Lou`s and third is from net
