Hi Pat, thank you very much.

It's very bad luck what happened to MSW. I hope it will recover soon. Maybe a fresh new start is good.

I am trying to do what I can and will upload my other build logs soon.

 

Have a nice day

Ilhan

Ilhan,

 

Your Mayflower is simply beautiful.  Outstanding craftsmanship in every aspect!  Thanks for posting it.

 

The "In progress" line in your signature is blank---what's next?

Thanks Ron,

 

At the moment I am building "Matthew" and I am in the stage of rigging.

First I will repost the build log for "Istanbul Kayığı" which is finished and then repost build log of "Matthew".

As I don't have the link yet I left this line blank. Actually I could have written just "Matthew" without the hyperlink.

Hi Klaus,

 

thank you very much.

I was also following your build of Mayflower. Are you going to repost the photos.  

May I ask you, in which German forum is your build log ?

Hallo Ilhan,

Just one short question: which plan did you use for this model?

Hallo Joachim,

 

Thank you very much. Plan is from the book “Mayflower, Noel Hackney” with the drawings by Wolfgang Hölzel published by Delius Klasing Verlag.

Hello Michael

 

 

 

Thank you very much.My name is GAO Xiao-ming

All reading!,To learn from you

[Ferit]

Very clean and neat. I envy you the talent you have achieved in your build...

[Ilhan Gokcay]

Janos, thanks.

I followed the plans/drawings of the book(Hackney/Hölzel) for the rigging, but crosschecked everything using R.C.Anderson's book (17th c rigging..)and validated.

The Anatomy of the ship "Susan Constant" by Brian Lavery was also very helpful.

Beautiful work Ilhan. You make scratch modelling look easy. I will use some of your methods in my builds. Thankyou,

    Matt

[Ilhan Gokcay]

You're welcome Matt.

Ilhan....As I am now shaping blocks to begin rigging the yards, I am wishing even more that I had thought to re-scale my plan sheets to at least 1:60.... Even to 1:50.

The launches are going to be very challenging at the 1:76 scale I am building at. Too late now.

Spending hours simply studying your incredibly fine rigging. What an outstandingly talented artist/craftsman you are my friend.

Ilhan, Outstanding workmanship,a masterpiece,sails and rigging so neatly accomplished .Your photo's will be a first class reference to other modelers doing this build,thanks,Edwin

[Ilhan Gokcay]

Thank you very much Edwin, Dave.

Dave, my Mayflower is at scale 1/60 but I think(now) 1/50 would be ideal for this ship.
