Ferit Posted May 28, 2013 Author #211 Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) This is an absolute masterpiece! A perfect build that inspires me. Your talent is amazing. Thank you Wolf for your comment, highly appreciated. I dropped in your log, your SF II is really great... Even though I don't like much mahogany wood, I realized that it could affect me by seeing your clean and beautiful hull planking...

I admit that I didn't look to kit build logs during the time on MSW. But I'll looking more often to kit builds in future. It looks realy good your Berlin. But I see you are doing much scratch.

hamilton Posted May 30, 2013 #221 Posted May 30, 2013 Hello Ferit: The stern looks excellent! Someone (I'm sorry but I forget who it was) complimented you on the addition of the port lid rigging - looking at your stern, I almost feel that if I gave a little tug to the line, the gun port would open, and I would find a fully rigged canon behind it!

As I haven't any profound knowledge about period ships and try to follow kit plans, it's inevitable for me to make errors. Would you let me know if there is any fault about the stern post and rudder arrangement? From now I can do anything but it would be profitable in my intended build and for the other members. :mellow: Hi Ferit, I’m not very familiar with that arrangement because with British ships some time around the mid to late seventeenth century the make-up of the stern timbers changed. I believe it is referred to as from a square tuck to a round tuck at the stern. Prior to the round tuck the rudder was as shown on your Berlin with the rudder head completely outside of the hull and with the tiller taken in thro’ a square hole below the transom. Because the hole had to be large enough to allow movement of the tiller, it presented problems in keeping out water. With the round tuck the stern post and rudder head lengths were increased and the rudder head was taken up inside the ship thro’ the much smaller helm port and the tiller was entirely within the ship. I understand that many European Navies retained the old style arrangement for some years after the British had changed, so the arrangement on your Berlin would appear to be entirely in keeping with the period. The use of a whipstaff which was the primary methods of steering for larger ships of the period would be operated under both stern arrangements. Sorry if my original comment raised a doubt in your mind. Regards, B.E.

themadchemist Posted June 3, 2013 #230 Posted June 3, 2013 Hello Ferit I've been a bit under the weather and have gotten behind on my build log readings . Lots of nice additions. The decks look great fully rigged, the cannon balls and holders turned out excellent, as did the belaying racks. The belaying rack/pins are very unique compared with most styles. I find them very interesting and a wonder bash of an otherwise poor kit molded piece. Your crows nest method is how I made my mast hoops. I would have never thought to upscale the layering to the crowsnests size though, Great idea! I'll be borrowing that idea. Its good to see so much progress, turtles may be slow but it's about quality, and you my friend show quality in everything you do. Quote

Ferit Posted June 4, 2013 Author #235 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Wow Ferit, That is nice round crow's nest…. You did it your self? And how did you did't it without braking? Hello Sjors, Thank you for the comment. That was: Phase 1; I gave a round shape to a wooden strip which had been softened in hot water, by a hot bender tool... Soaked in hot water then bended by the tool, soaked-bended over and over so that even the strip might take a round form... After that, I soaked the strip in hot water for the last time, then without using the bender tool I encircled the wet strip over a piece of timber which had been shaped in a perfect round form, to provide a perfect circular shape. I cut the excessive part of the strip and I glued the junction with CA. I left the strip encircled over the rounded piece of timber. It dried in a good circular form. Phase 2-3; The same procedures with the second strip. This time I also glued two strips together as well. Then the same procedures with the third strip... Finally I took the product out the rounded piece of timber...
