Ferit Posted July 1, 2013 Author #332 Posted July 1, 2013 Some fine detail on those shots Ferit, I like the neat little sheave for the Fore sheets, very nicely done. B.E. Very nice work as ever Ferit. What are the ropes that we can see in the background? Thank you B.E. and Juergen for the kind comments and for eyeing all details... Another talent: Visual flair... The neat little sheave in fact, has a circular wood of piece inside to simulate a pulley, but being left in shade it had not been seen in photos... And the ropes in the background are the shrouds...

jaerschen Posted July 2, 2013 #333 Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Hi Ferit, I havn't much idea about ships of that period. Were the shrouds white at this time ?

Ferit Posted July 3, 2013 Author #334 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Hi Juergen, You are right and have a very kind manner in your notice... I don't think that the shrouds were white... But I decided to left them as the kit had supplied... I think my decision is wrong but I don't want another effort to buy and replace the ropes, I am an obsessive man and sometimes this temper fatigues me and sometimes to break this temper makes me feel happy... that situation is one of them...

I haven't done this myself (yet) but I believe you can darken the shrouds with 'India Ink'. I'm sure others with more experience can provide more insight, but would seem to be an straightforward task.

lamarvalley Posted July 5, 2013 #346 Posted July 5, 2013 Very nice Ferit... as usual I like your chainplates a lot and am in need of creating some and yours are an excellent example of what I want... I intend to make them of 20 gauge copper and blacken... hope you don't mind if I copy your design... I also like the top threading under the deadeye, gives a nice finished look.... might do that as well. You've inspired me to do better and i thank you for that Ferit 1 Quote
RiverRat Posted July 5, 2013 #347 Posted July 5, 2013 Hi Ferit, It's such a joy to watch your Berlin taking shape. Are you familiar with silver soldering? I'm not yet to the point where I've done any myself, but I've read here of instances where unsoldered rings and such may open up under the tension of the rigging, allowing it to sag. The wrapping and gluing might be adequate, but it's something to consider. There is a silver soldering tutorial in the article downloads section. Cheers, Brian Ferit 1 Quote "Give you joy!"

Cheers, Brian Hi Brian, thank you for the kind comment and the information... There are many techniques and manners I see at MSW. I became aware of them in course of time. (Many thanks to all...) Soldering is the top solution. If only I can... But I flee from it. If I should have enough information I have not any experience and don't know if I can handle it. Experience is as important as knowledge, I think. But I had a try with the tension, fortunately the glued dead eye with CA has remained very stable...

I have found your Log tardy, decided to follow it but unfortunately you have come to a stop... Speaking of Berlin, I will keep all ropes natural hemp color... I have learned that static ropes have to be dark color, brown or black and active ropes white or cream. But meanwhile I saw in some Corel's finished models showed via internet, all ropes in natural hemp color, that event has pleased and encouraged me to go with the natural hemp color. Black is only in metal work and glasses of the windows...

lamarvalley Posted July 6, 2013 #352 Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks for the tip Ferit. I tried a few prototypes and found bending the wire and trying to connect at the deadeye was impossible so I changed the junction point further down to the bottom. I'll have to solder but at least I shouldn't light my wooden deadeyes on fire. No matter what tho it will be better than the wire stuff from AL... I hope Ferit 1 Quote

lamarvalley Posted July 6, 2013 #354 Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Thank you Ferit. Your confidence in me is uplifiting. I always like your suggestions too and your drawing looks very similar to the way I just did a prototype with the bottom ring forming around a fat 1.5mm sewing needle stuck into a board. I need the junction to be farther from the deadeye tho as when I solder I fear the flame being that close to the wooden deadeye. In that case I probably will not wrap the top. True, I know how to solder but not well enough to make it an easy time.... most of the time it is trial and error ... I have to do 30 deadeyes with strops and around number 15 or so I'll start to get a rhythm I hope! Edited July 6, 2013 by lamarvalley Quote

JPett Posted July 6, 2013 #356 Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Ahoy Ferit Looking at your pictures and not ever having silver soldered any deadeye hardware I would think that you could close the "gap" as you have it named in your pic without the wooden deadeye installed. Provided you were neat with the solder and did not attach the two linear sections you would then be able to place a wedge between the linear parts, opening the circle just enough to then insert the deadeye. Once the wedge is removed it should secure the deadeye This being said I really think what you have done will work just fine. Maybe I will try this on my Berlin build. This after I finish my current build which as we both know will be some time from now. PS: She looks great Edited July 6, 2013 by JPett Ferit 1 Quote On with the Show....

Ferit Posted July 6, 2013 Author #357 Posted July 6, 2013 Ahoy J.Pett, In fact what I mentioned "gap" is the junction point. The round wire had been left loose to allow installing the deadeye, for this reason there was a gap. But once the deadeye has been installed the wire was compacted firmly then the gap became a junction point... But the soldering is the best solution and your suggestion was registered...
