themadchemist Posted July 31, 2013 Share #422 Posted July 31, 2013 I think they look GREAT. I've always questioned over tight ratlines as the climbing would have given them some sag inthe middle from the weight of climbers. Plus I've noticed in several movies with period ships, they seem to always have a bit of sag. To me its more realistic, which you have a natural ablity towards. Thats what I love about this build, its beautiful but looks natural. The way you treated you barrel first drew me to your build due to your eye for making it look used and natural, as a real ship would be. Of course, I'm mad, but I still know what I like and there's nothing on your Berlin I haven't loved. Have you noticed the similarity between your berlins double caprail and the modification the the DSotM's caprails. Ferit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your kind comments are much appreciated. The problem about sags is the twists of the rope, it seems to me as if the ratlines don't sag in natural manner, the gravity doesn't work correctly ... very well done on the ratlines, Ferit.. I agree with Keith, the sag effect makes it looks more realistic.. Thank you very much ZyXuz, your words sound very good... That looks great Ferit! Really nice job . When you have done the last ratline, you almost like it Will that day come?! Who knows? Penelope's weaving... from Odyssey... It looks great! Very clean. Its nice to see her getting rigged Thank you Matti much appreciated. I decided that I love the wood rather than the rope... Hi Ferit, I very much like your Build, and shall stay tuned to your log as you go along,.....well done ! Nils Hello Nils, Thank you a lot for following and for your nice thoughts, I am grateful... Beautiful job Ferit. The sag is perfect... I can only hope mine look half as good. Your faith in me as usual... Many thanks Randy... I try my best... Me too, I have faith in you. I know you can do it more good than it must be... Well done my friend. It's good to hear that from spider whisperer (I liked this definition that had come from Buck; Salty Sea Dog and it's my second use for you Augie but it's possible that there will be much more...Sorry...) Ferit, I agree with everybody ! your ratlines look perfect. Keith made a very good observation, I will remember his thoughts when I get to where you are in mine. Regards, Michael Your kind comments as always, Michael... As I had said, the naturalness of your build affects me all the time. Sure your ratlines also will be natural and beautiful...

themadchemist Posted July 31, 2013 Share #431 Posted July 31, 2013 I get what your saying about the sag, They seem to be sagging/twisted more on the outer shouds and toward the outside. I wonder if a slight wetting with water from a brush and a bit of downward force in the center would make them sag symmetrically? I also wonder if just a bit of PVA in the water might let them dry in a more natural fashion and hold the symmetry. Of course this is just speculation as I've not done any rigging as yet. I also question if redoing them would change things much as they aren't slack and the rigidity of the rope is probably the twist effector rather then your work. Just some ideas. Either way, left alone or modified, your works outstanding. Maybe Augie the spider whisperer would have more experienced advise, as I'm only guessing how I might approach it. Thats the great thing about MSW. All the knowledge and expertise to draw from, which helps make better builds and builders of us all.

mtaylor Posted July 31, 2013 Share #432 Posted July 31, 2013 Ferit, On your ratline problem, mix some water and white glue in a 50-50 proportion. Lightly paint the ratlines and shape while it drys. Do this on a test ratline first. It should help. augie, Salty Sea Dog and Ferit 3 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Sea Dog Posted August 1, 2013 Share #433 Posted August 1, 2013 Hi Ferit! I don't have the experience of Mark or the most Augcellent spider whisperer, but I was able to shape some unruly thread using a 50/50 water and white glue mix. I think you will get the results you want that way. By the way, I agree with everyone else, your rope work is terrific! Best wishes.

Buck, have I to pay for the usage of your registered trademark " spider whispererR "? I have used the laundry starch, but I haven't obtained ideal outcome. I should try 50-50 diluted white glue...

Ulises Victoria Posted August 3, 2013 Share #441 Posted August 3, 2013 Ferit. I just don't know what to mention that I like most of your build... but I'll try anyway: Your cleanliness. Everything looks so cleanly made. How you modified and built the doors and windows; the rigging of your deck cannons, your ratlines... man you are doing a tremendous job there. You are making a jewel out of a relatively unknown kit. My congratulations. Salty Sea Dog and Ferit 2 Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.
