Ferit

Wishing you will get well and healthy as soon as possible...

Hi Michael,

Firstly, what you will do, I am sure, will be attractive and nice...

Secondly, I like the view of nailed pieces ( one of my regrets about my build )...

Thirdly, Matti's suggestions deserve highly consideration ( as always )...

Fourthly, these are my humble thoughts and I am not a knowledgeable man about model ship building but only who follows the plans and his imaginations...

After your reference pictures of the post #217 and through many other pictures in the web, I realized that Corel's gratings - as in my Berlin - have different and wrong shapes. I think from now on, the space between two members and the thickness of each member should be almost the same... That should be like a chessboard I suppose...

But after Corel's gratings, the distance between two members almost doubles the thickness of a member. If you are thinking of nailing with two nails, you should consider this situation... You may change them with the gratings of another manufacturer... ( I was late now for my build but if I had been thinking as today I would change them... )

Thats coming along very nicely Ferit. 

Many thanks Brian, for your nice comment...

Meanwhile I am awaiting with curiosity your scratch build Warrior 1781...

Deciding to begin to make the carvings on the SoS already depends on the faith in yourself, on the self-confidence... You can really and easily be proud of yourself, Nigel...

Hi and welcome Hamilton,

It looks accurate, very nice and detailed boat... Should we await some couple of oars?...

It would be a pleasure to see also some handiworks of your dad...

Good news about your health Sjors...  

Always a joy to behold! I'm wondering, Ferit - did you bend the wood for the crow's nests or did those come as CNC or laser cut parts? Just wondering how the crow's nest was worked up - it is very elegant looking!

Thank you Hamilton as always...

As described at Pages 16 and 17  it's only a time consuming process... Before I have begun, this phase had been scaring me... But after the begining I realized that the main factor is the patience... The skill was layabout...

Ferit,

 

I won't repeat what everyone else has said and I agree with them.  Inspirational building you are doing.

Your kind words are much appreciated Mark, it's always very pleasant for me to hear them...

Yup, some kind of magic touch you have there Ferit! Everything you've touched is golden!

Many thanks Buck... but not golden, it's because of the photos taken under yellow light... 

Very nice work, Ferit.

Amazing work

Thank you Richard and Schawn, your heartening words are much appreciated...

Just catching up Alex,

Your very nice and clean build keeps going... Arte italiana...

Awesome Ferit!

 

/Matti

Thank you Matti, it's your kindness as always...

Very nice update...

Fabulous,super neat work as always Ferit.

Kind Regards Nigel

Catching back up on your progress Ferit, once again wonderful workmanship all around!

Looks brilliant !!!

Thank you Nigel, Jason and Chris, it's pleasure to receive your kindness and gentle thoughts...

It's always a pleasure to give a look in your log, Ferit. I see, now you're doing stays (just where I have been stopping my Berlin ) and ... who knows ... maybe the looking to your good work will give me a new motivation to finish that model.

 

I'm really curious to see all your rigging.

 

Cheers

Alex

Saluto Alex,

Grazie... for your nice comments...

An unfinished model staying untouched henceforth is like remaining offended with a friend, this is too annoying... It is needed to make peace with him...

Wish you re-begin your Berlin...

The mizzenmast...

Happy birthday Hamilton, happy lifetime...

Hi Theo,

These blocks look really accurate and great ( = not big but first-rate  )...

Attractive as always...

It's Great...

Welcome to the Marvellous Show of ChrisLBren!...  

May I make a suggestion? 

The case looks very nice and clean.

A case without wooden columns at the four corners, with only four pieces of glass joined at the corners, may be seen more spacious and wide (?)... 

Thanks everyone.

 

Ferit, my friend, you have sharp eyes.   Yes, that's an oops.   I'll be filling it before the final sanding and finishing of that area.  There's a few other areas that need it also. 

Hi Mark,

Would you let me know how you will fill it? By a paste or sawdust with PVA or thinner piece of cherry wooden fibre of same color tone of the adjacent plank? Or another solution?

Hi Mark,

I had linked MS Trinkstein by dafi - SOS - Stone on Soil - Flush deck frigate of the Austrian Mountain Navy to your noticed link http://modelshipworl...-mountain-navy/.  

The two links open to the same story that should be read...  

Hi Mark,

You should consider it done... Very nice work... One thing, is there a little gap between the ebony wood and the cherry above the cannon port frame?...

Ferit,

 

Those detail photographs show up your work beautifully. Everything looks in full harmony with the rest of the ship. I feel as though I could almost climb on board.

Thank you Ian, for your kind comments,

BTW, I follow your Log in which there are sub-Logs... One of them, I think, should be Metal Scratch Build of a Boiler Sub-Log, fabulous it is!...
