Ferit Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share #601 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) @ Nigel, You have caught a good point my friend... I had referred also Model Mariner, a member who had been building Berlin in scratch, following the plans of course... He had told me that my Berlin's scale seems 1:40... He had checked like ChrisLBren, the original dimensions against the model's. Then the scale approximately is 1:40... @ Keith, Hi Keith, I had shocked by their answer... You are right, with a scale of 1:40, WVH would be huge... @ Mark, Hi Mark, That was one of those days that I was angry with myself, that I was telling to mysellf to stay away from perfectionism... I had thought aloud, sorry to make all of you pay attention... That has happened above its purpose... About the scale problem, after all those comments I decided that in fact, the essential has to be the consistency of the scale between all parts of a model. The scale in one way or another, 1:40 or 1:50, has to not matter. The importance is that for example while the scale of a cannon is 1:40, the figurhead also must have the same scale... In addition to what you said, maybe they want to use some common parts in some kits of different ships... It's another reason of not being a perfectionist... It makes me happy if I know the errors previously rather than I meet them afterwards... Thank you again for your interest... @ Hamilton, Hi Hamilton, Thank you for your thought my friend... That had happened above its purpose... I had thought aloud... Sorry... There are a lot of things to do on my Berlin... I had not bought WVH, as I had been and am a beginner, the price had been determinative... You are right, Corel's parts are good in quality... WVH is their flag ship... And she is a beautiful lady and like my childhood love...

GTM Posted September 23, 2013 Share #605 Posted September 23, 2013 Hej Ferit, According to wikipedia the WvH was 40 meters in length http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wapen_von_Hamburg_(1669) When taking this in mind and look at Corels length of the model (1,1 meter or 43” ) I think the scale is not that dramatically far off .. It is app: 1:36 ..

Ferit Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share #606 Posted September 23, 2013 Hej Theo,Thank you for your interest... After reading your info I checked also these dimensions and ratios... You are quite right, the scale of WVH is app. 1:36... and it's not that dramatically far off... And I could believe now with a good few kits, the scale one way or another is not completely exact... Now that's done... I am happy with the result about ratio... I wouldn't calculate the scales no more... I must just do it, build her!...

Ferit Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share #608 Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Hej Theo, Even if WVH is my chilhood love, I couldn't betray my pretty Berlin... I should do everything I can do with her... There would be nothing for each other to think after us... She has to be finished first... Otherwise she would be left somewhere at the first corner...

Ilhan Gokcay Posted September 24, 2013 Share #609 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi Ferit, This is a very good work what you have done here. I would like to tell you that never get disappointed about what the kit companies do offer.But some prejudice is a good way here.

Ferit Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share #610 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi İlhan, Thank you for the kind thoughts which come from a quite complete craftsman, really from a master... You are at ease at the other, parallel fantastic universe of scratch, far away from the anxieties of scales, mistakes etc. of the kits... but in the depth of unnumbered complexities and difficulties of the scratch building...

Ferit Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share #611 Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) And a piece of addition... The mouse has been made in this way, instead of piece of wool, I have used piece of wood... I haven't confused the words; wool and wood, it's just a preference...

Ferit Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share #624 Posted October 1, 2013 A shortcut for rigging that I keep using to rig blocks with the ropes 0,5 mm of diameter and below... It's easy to make it and at this scale and thinness it simulates the knots very good in my opinion... http://www.lake-link.com/knots/knot.cfm/100/Uni-Knot/ mtaylor, hamilton, augie and 8 others 11 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
