Not from the book of Mark Twain but... Yesterday, when I was watching a film; a riverboat alike yours, with the sounds of the rotating wheel bumping into water makes me remember your very nice work... It's painted as red even the wheel...

Hi Hamilton, Thanks for your comment. Berlin is a single planked model. The plans are not very detailed. There are four sheets. For exemple Artesena Latina's ship plans are more detailed than Berlin's plans. It's considered that you know basic rules. Sometimes, I got stuck on, but I have solved problems via internet, thanks to MSW and another sites. Now I look back and I can easily say there is no problem to build her... Regards...

It seems as if one of the nails has slided one "micron" to the left!... Your work is splendid, unbelievable... Masterpiece... Regards... Ferit -
I continue to update my log... The installation of the lid of the gun port is not right I think according to many pictures at MSW. It must be at the same plane with the hull and the frame of the lid must be inside as much as the thickness of the lid. The cannons must be painted in black... The lids have to be hinged... Regards... Ferit

Thanks very much to all of you for your thoughts about my job... Those make me to feel very well... I have affinity to see barrels on the deck. They look to me very characteristic and historical for period ships... Regards...

Hi Sjors, You are the Captain and it's the Captain's gentility to appreciate the efforts of the crew of lower deck and to encourage them... Ferit

:D I came at the stage of rigging and I stopped... I wait my energy come back again. Meanwhile I began a MSW member. I wanted to share my job. Perhaps, one day if I begin to rig, I go to bed three hours later and I finish the ship in one night...

Cannons were burred, impure, I had to work on them. Rasp and sandpaper... But I didn't like the color I have painted and I would change it to mat black I have seen at MSW. Then some alteration on the damaged figure... The lid (?) for cannon was protruding from the hull. From MSW it's not agreable. I would make them to be at the same plane with the hull...

And cannon carriages... white glued weakly to each other, 8 blocks are shaped at same dimensions, then in water they leave each other... (I am not good in English, my vocabulary, sentences are bizarre, ...my apologies...)

I continue with another window, 5 walnut strips glued together, two of them are narrow than others, again credit card's plastic, the shiny black plastic of the back of the CD cover for glass. Then all is painted in the same way. I don't like the window provided by the kit.
-
Handrails were finished. I don't like the windows from the kit and made them from plastic of my credit cards. The glass made from the back (bright black) of CD cover, then painted with gold metalic spray, became old with diluted black paint and clear varnished...

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
