Ferit

Hi Meredith,

I stopped by... It looks very nice project... Regarding your preparations, it's easy to say that you intend to make a beatiful build...

Matti and mathewp;

thank you for your encouragements...

Thank you for the info and

I really like this, Matti;

"Im trying to look at the 1:10 and the painted sculpture replicas from the museum for color reference. I will tone down some nuances to my taste, some to give scale and make them blend well, other for dramatic effects."

Hi Matti,

I realized that the color of the background of the two lions below the curtain is blue and the color of the puppies is gold through the book.

Which choice would you prefer as there are many variations about colors according to authors? Following one of them or making a mixed paint work through your taste?

BTW, your paint work is detailed and clean...

I'm not surprised Mathewp... Impossible that the processor could overtake your speed ...

Today I remembered that I have an article at my PC and as soon as possible I returned to it. I noticed that my rudder build has resemblance to the first one in the picture and that makes me feel happy...

Hi Theo,

This is a fantastic job through the single planked build!... Clean, slick, fluent and symmetric...

We are waiting...

Patience!

Yes Matti. what I see is an one to one copy, this is an important news for you, I can understand, me, as much as the build seems as original I feel relieved. BB has done great job and your painting is really impressive...

Hi Matti,

Your ability to successfully manage the build, makes it worthy. As you mentioned it's a really successfully made and successfully painted copy seeming like the original as closer as possible. Congratulations...

Hello B.E.;

Thank you very much for your interest and knowledge. Everyday I feel content of increasing my capacity of datum about period ships.

Salute Brian and...

The stern looks excellent! Someone (I'm sorry but I forget who it was) complimented you on the addition of the port lid rigging - looking at your stern, I almost feel that if I gave a little tug to the line, the gun port would open, and I would find a fully rigged canon behind it! Even if it's not really there, the detail you provide certainly provokes the imagination!

Hello Hamilton,

He was Brian (RiverRat) who complimented me on the addition (I thank him again)... Your habituel kindness and that you have mentioned, makes me feel fine and victorious.

Interesting stern post and rudder arrangement Ferit, but beautifully executed. Love the carved work beneath the transom.

 

B.E.

Thank you very much B.E.; for the comments of a knowledgeable craftsman...

As I haven't any profound knowledge about period ships and try to follow kit plans, it's inevitable for me to make errors. Would you let me know if there is any fault about the stern post and rudder arrangement? From now I can do anything but it would be profitable in my intended build and for the other members. :mellow:

Hi Ferit,

 

Your rudder looks if it belongs there and will be forever!

Great job again.

Hi Sjors,

Your kindness again...and forever...

(BTW, it is possible to take out the rudder and then to hang on it...)

I'm wondered that I didn't see any log from you. Now I know why. I admit that I didn't look to kit build logs during the time on MSW.

But I'll looking more often to kit builds in future.

It looks realy good your Berlin. But I see you are doing much scratch.

Thank you Juergen for your kind comments...

Yes, scratch build is another fantastic world in the parallel universe, existing only in my imagination...  It's like a dream...

The rudder...

Salute Juergen,

Absolutely great work. I admire always scratch builds, one of them is yours...

Hello Timo,

Happy birthday...

And very successful improvement... very clean well-done build...

Salute Johann,

Such a metal art!... Such a wood art!...

I envy you the level of skill you have reached...

I read your build log from the first page, and I must say she is just neat and nice!! especially the cannons and barrels details... 

BRAVO!! Can't wait to see you to finish this ship!!

Hi ZyXuz,

Thank you for dropping in, for your kind comments...

Hi mathewp,

In one month the half of the ship is almost finished. Are you sure that your Whil E Coyote is suitable ?

Your avatar must be Roadrunner ...

This is an absolute masterpiece! A perfect build that inspires me. Your talent is amazing.

Thank you Wolf for your comment, highly appreciated. I dropped in your log, your SF II is really great... Even though I don't like much mahogany wood, I realized that it could affect me by seeing your clean and beautiful hull planking...

Hi Buck,

These are really the pieces of craftsmanship ...

Oh Ferit, I don't think you give yourself enough credit... you are good at this. You have a talent that is natural and an incredible eye for detail. Face it my friend... you're good!!

Thank you Randy,

I am overwhelmed but these words refresh me meanwhile...
