Ferit got a reaction from Archi in Stairs on the hull planking and on the wale
Allan, thank you for your reply.
Yes I meant dimension "A"
At the drawing below, I don't see any problem when climbing from #1 to #2 and from #3 to #4 but from #2 to #3 there should be a trouble considering knee and foot position of the crew. It would be problematic even if you step from #1 to #2 because the position of the knee doesn't allow easily to do that due to contacting with #3.

Ferit got a reaction from Archi in Stairs on the hull planking and on the wale
Hi,
May I learn the solution. Which one is correct about the steps of a stair located outside of the hull?
1. The width of the all steps is to be kept in line: The width of a step on the hull planking is wider than the one on the wale.
2. The width of the all steps is same upon they are on the hull planking or on the wale (Doen't passing from the step on the hull planking to the one on the wale make climbing difficult?).

I'm not really interested in proving my own idea, I'm just trying to understand the logic in the background.

Thank you for your replies...
What I think is that the width of the wales may be negligible on some vessels... On some others they had avoided to fix steps on the wales...
But I want to learn your opinion about the stairs on the photo below... The width of the steps on the wales are narrow compared with the width of the others. Some steps of which the upper part fixed on the hull planking and the lower part on the wale are modified according to the gap...

IMO...
Usability must come before aesthetics... You don't want extra difficulty when working in too variable and difficult conditions. To keep all width in a line is more convenient than to make the width of all steps uniform.
Why have I to turn and return my body from hull to wale and vis versa instead of adjusting all steps (fixed to the hull as opposed to an unstable and mobile rope ladder) in a line?... It's not suitable for ergonomics... I don't think the engineers of that period had ignored this issue. I imagine an admiral or one of the upper rank sailors or a noble trying to climb a stair having irregular steps... 🙄
As Jud said; maybe they avoided fixing a step on a wale as far as possible...
If I understood correctly there is not a reliable and precise information about this issue.

Ferit reacted to md1400cs in Sovereign of the Seas 1637 by md1400cs - Sergal - 1:78 - to be hopefully bashed
Hello,
Alex-Ks1 -- big thanks
Here are some updated images of the continuing work with the stern gallery outer faces. I like how the outer windows turned out. Certainly more historically accurate (haha – this kit has nothing to do with historical accuracy).. though I am a bit regretful, in that all of the previous work (interior floorings, gold trimming on upper and lower inner window frames, and gallery planking are now totally hidden from view - oh well.
FYI: Last image offers a comparison of current kit's metal bit compared to vintage kit's solid bronze bits.
Regards,

Ferit got a reaction from Pio in Frigate Berlin by Ferit KUTLU - Corel - 1/40 - 1674
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...

Hi,
I begin to try to form my build log and to upload first photos of my Frigate Berlin. I have not any experience to do these and I expect to succeed.
The pixel quality is low but it will be better.
In fact, I have begun this kit app. ten years ago, after 6-7 months of working on, I have left it at somewhere in my house. But whenever I saw it, I was feeling a fever to start again... Year 2010, then I overcame...
The photos I have taken are belonging to the second period of my work. These photo are test for uploading...
See you soon...

Ferit got a reaction from mtbediz in Frigate Berlin by Ferit KUTLU - Corel - 1/40 - 1674
Hi,
Thank you for the nice comment.
For the frame, I used the strips that I cut from a credit or similar card. I don't know from which material the credit card is made, I just used it because it was easily accessible. The thickness is ideal and uniform. It takes shape very easily in hot air with hair dryer and keeps its shape when cooled. I provided the semicircular form by wrapping it around a pencil and giving it hot air then waiting for it to cool. I made decorations by glued some small pieces. Very strong when glued with CA...
Then I painted the whole frame in gold with spray and aged it with some touches with black watercolor paint. I finished with glossy polish...
For the windows glass, the glossy black thin plastic material inside a CD case was used. It was as if it was dark inside and it wasn't visible from the outside, I just wanted the effect that there was a glare in the glass.
Then I glued the CD case plastic to the frame and sanded the outer parts... And some touches with gold to the sides because of the plastic was visible in black...
I used those materials because I had not any idea how to find the appropriate material, they were under my hand...
The inside part of the CD case is mat at the attached photo, I had used the glossy one

Hi Mike,
Very nice build as the choice of the ship and the kit.
Is there a small gap?
