Ferit Posted October 14, 2013 Author #662 Posted October 14, 2013 Hi Ferit: I feel like I've been starved for pictures of your beautiful Berlin! And now I see you're on to the rigging! It's looking good close up but I'd love to catch a glimpse of the whole thing....but maybe you're saving that for later..... hamilton Hi Hamilton, I didn't forget my promise to take a shot of the whole ship but after all masts having been fixed, toward your former request... Thank you for your patience and sorry for my obsession... I will take it as soon as possible... hamilton 1 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy)

Me too Ian, I prefer photos either taken upward from the dock or downward from the crowsnest... @ Sjors, What I am doing is to try to catch you up Sir... @ Wacko and Augie, It's really a pleasure for me to receive such heartening responses...

hamilton Posted October 14, 2013 #664 Posted October 14, 2013 Hi Ferit: She looks magnificent - maybe you address this questions elsewhere in your log, but did you replace any of the wood stock provided in the kit for the planking or the superstructures? Can't wait to see the much-longed-for profile shot! There were some flirtatious gestures in the last post! hamilton Ferit 1 Quote current builds: Corel HMS Bellona (1780); Admiralty models Echo cross-section (semi-scratch) previous builds: MS Phantom (scuttled, 2017); MS Sultana (1767); Corel Brittany Sloop (scuttled, 2022); MS Kate Cory; MS Armed Virginia Sloop (in need of a refit); Corel Flattie; Mamoli Gretel; Amati Bluenose (1921) (scuttled, 2023); AL San Francisco (destroyed by land krakens [i.e., cats]); Corel Toulonnaise (1823); MS Glad Tidings (1937) (in need of a refit); HMS Blandford (1719) from Corel HMS Greyhound; Fair Rosamund (1832) from OcCre Dos Amigos (missing in action); Amati Hannah (ship in a bottle); Mamoli America (1851); Bluenose fishing schooner (1921) (scratch); Off-Centre Sailing Skiff (scratch) under the bench: MS Emma C Barry; MS USS Constitution; MS Flying Fish; Corel Berlin; a wood supplier Colonial Schooner Hannah; Victory Models H.M.S.

NMBROOK Posted October 14, 2013 #665 Posted October 14, 2013 Wow Ferit can't believe I missed this earlier Stunning work,I think there maybe a pic or two worthy of the 'amazing photographs' section. Kind regards Nigel Ferit 1 Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
Ferit Posted October 14, 2013 Author #666 Posted October 14, 2013 Hi Hamilton, Thank you for your usual kindness... I have replaced so many wooden pieces that I could almost build another Berlin... Really... I usualy work careless, ham-handed and too freehanded... I sometimes use a material twice than it's needed... Especially many 2 x 2; 2 x 6; 2 x 4; 1 x 4; 3 x 3; 4 x 4; 5 x 5 cm walnut strips have been additional... Also 0,5 x 5 cm hornbeam strips for all deck planking. For exemple, the straight part of the false keel under the hull had been provided as 8 x 8 of walnut. The other parts of the keel have been mahogany. I have replaced the walnut part with four 2 x 8 mahogany strips white glued together to obtain a 8 x 8 cm mahogany piece. Also so many meters of various diameters of ropes have been bought additionally... Yes, I can easily say that another possible Berlin has sunk on my work table... In the other hand I'm not adequate in English language, I don't know the nuances, how I could express myself exactly and in full, I have recourse to those gestures... Sorry so many gestures...

blueyAU Posted October 14, 2013 #668 Posted October 14, 2013 I have been watching your building of the Berlin. A friend of mine saved a model of the Berlin that was about to be thrown into a garbage bin. It is in a bit of a mess but time and care I should be able to salvage it. I hope you don't mind if I follow your building of the berlin. The photos I had taken are to big so I will have to work out how to reduce them. John Edwards Ferit 1 Quote
Ferit Posted October 15, 2013 Author #669 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Hello John, Thank you for dropping in, then for deciding to follow my Berlin. To be followed could give me only pleasure. To be reference even a liitle to a ship on her way to be salvaged is a big satisfaction for me. You are welcome. There sould be unnumbered ways to do it but me, I reduce the size of the photos throught the Paint software of Microsoft. I posted a mail to your mailbox. Thank you again for your interest...

md1400cs Posted October 15, 2013 #670 Posted October 15, 2013 Ferit, I won't repeat all of the previous superlatives, as much as I would like to. I must have looked at some of your latest updated photos 2 or three times, in case I missed something (I'm sure that I did) . Your Berlin is so so special. Please, you are no longer a beginner, but you have instead become a teacher for many of us, so that we may try to emulate your level of exquisite detailing. Such a beauty. A real joy for the senses.

aliluke Posted October 15, 2013 #671 Posted October 15, 2013 Beautiful work Ferit - magnificent in fact. I'm sure all here have buckets full of rejected kit strips and then badly formed replacement strips. I have a box fill that could easily build another ship. It is the nature of getting it right which you are doing!

Beef Wellington Posted October 15, 2013 #677 Posted October 15, 2013 Wow - I go away for a long weekend and come back to so many wonderful pictures of progress, very very nice indeed. One question if I may, and apologize if you've already answered this before, but what is the purpose of the large 'cathead' after the second cannon? Never seen anything like that before. Great clean work once again Ferit. Ferit 1 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

Ferit Posted October 15, 2013 Author #678 Posted October 15, 2013 It's a pleasure to receive your kind thoughts Jason, as always, many thanks... Your welcome, we are here to communicate, to share all knowledge we have (in this case if I have)... Sorry, I am not adequate in ship vocabulary... If I understand you correctly, I suppose that what you meant with 'cathead' after the second cannon is the circle No 1... Firstly, the rope in the photo passing just under the numeral "1" doen't belong to this structure. It's just about securing the rope temporarily. Secondly, in the plans a thick rope coming from the mast/sail passes via the hole drilled through the mouth of the golden figurine and fastens to this structure. Thirtly, I don't really know anything about the purpose of being large. I answered if No 1 is the case... No 2 is already out of my knowledge... Could someone help us?... Thank you from now...

Beef Wellington Posted October 15, 2013 #679 Posted October 15, 2013 My fault Ferit, I should have been clearer. This is what I was referring to...

Ferit Posted October 15, 2013 Author #680 Posted October 15, 2013 I don't really know Jason, the porpose of its largeness. It is used also for Wappen Von Hamburg of the same brand, Corel. Corel shares this figurine for these two kit, Berlin and WVH. Maybe it's inaccurate for Berlin, if so, I think it happens for this reason of sharing. In fact the figurine was thin. I had to grave the wales to squeeze the figurine between them. So, I decided to elevate the figurine...
