Ferit Posted January 3, 2018 Author #753 Posted January 3, 2018 Hi my friends, Berlin finally started to make me build itself... Inspired after a long time of stability I was able to repair the broken upper main mast. What a progress?!... I have removed the upper section and fixed the new part throught the semi-opened hole to the lower part with a wooden rod (picture). I wish it will continue... coxswain, hamilton, Captain Slog and 9 others 12 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy)

Ferit Posted January 6, 2018 Author #759 Posted January 6, 2018 Thank you Hamilton, The repair was like a first step. It is easy to change a broken part but I was officious and impatient at that time, not ready mentally, I had finished with more damage... Now I feel more prepared and eager but a little leisurely... popeye the sailor, mtaylor, zappto and 2 others 5 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy)

I wish everything is going good for you and your dock becomes more busy and intense than erstwhile. It's always a privilege to see you on work... And a little progress. Doing as much as I can.

Barbossa Posted January 9, 2018 #765 Posted January 9, 2018 Don't you worry : yes, it is a bit of a setback, but there's no structural harm done. Furthermore, be assured : it is the kind of mistakes we all make.

I want to make my own stern lantern, I don't like kit casting example. I am confused about whether it was made of wood or metal at Berlin's period 1674. I looked at some examples via web but some of them were made of metal and some worked as wood. I will thankful for the answers.
