Exceptionally neat work Ferit :wub: Not just on the rigging,but with these close up shots you can see the care and detail you have put in making the masts and tops.Super sharp work my friend.Looking forward to the next instalment.

Kind Regards Nigel

Ferit,

 

Very nice work. The crow's feet look great.

Hi Ferit:

 

Beautiful to look at! The model really stands up to the extreme close-ups - such incredible precision. Really masterful work. Question - the euphroe block you used on the crowsfeet - is this a modified long-tackle block or was this part supplied with the kit with multiple holes, or did you scratch build it?

Beautiful work on the rigging, Ferit.  When I get there, I hope my rigging will be half as good.

@ Hamilton,

 

Thank you for your optimistic thoughts about the build my friend... Very pleasant even I don't deserve them...  m0738.gif

Corel hadn't supplied the euphroe blocks, I have to scratch them from a 2 x 6 mm walnut strip. For the all holes drilled and viewed from both sides of any piece on the ship I often prefer to use the hand drill but not the drill machine. The second one is uncontrolled. And after marking and making two liitle holes with the sharp point of the compasses into the both sides of the wood, I begin to drill from both sides. The two conduits meet at the middle in the wood. I act thus because I couldn't estimate where the drill bit would protrude... 

BTW, I had to fasten the euphroe block to the main stay with a tackle as you had done in your build at a scale of 1:100 furthermore...

Me, I made short circuit at a scale of 1:40... m0903.gif

 

 

@ Mark,

 

You are so generous Sir,

I could be only a kid in his early childhood beside you...

Hi Wayne,

After your rigging will come out, I'm sure, it will be me who will say if only my rigging had been as well as yours!...

You have done some lovely, clean and precise work on her Ferit and she's looking beautiful.  You've taken kit bashing to a new level and you will find it increasingly difficult to convince watchers that you are still a beginner.

 

 Scratch build next?

If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

@ ZyXuz and Buck,

Many thanks for the thoughts, these keep me being happy... 

 

 

@ Yambo,

 

You are pampering me Sir...  t1803.gif

Even the word of scratch is exciting me...   But Corel's WVH is waiting somewhere we will date up...  

If Corel is the case, WVH being so beautiful, hard and untoucable lady (for me at least), it sould be probably semi-scratch and if I would keep my courage...

Through the advices and instructions of B.E. (Blue Ensign) and Jason (Beef Wellington), the slots of the channels will be closed by strips... (Thank you again).
