wefalck Posted March 21, 2017 Share #123 Posted March 21, 2017 How did you do the cowl-vents ? By vacuum-forming ? I like the QF-gun, but would have constructed it from several pieces, given the technologies you have at your disposal. BTW, if you chemically tin the brass and polish it lightly, it quite looks like steel. Or are you going to plate it with e.g. nickel ? Are there still commercial brass-founders in Russia, or was this done in a 'back-yard' foundry ? Which may be the same actually ...

Are there still commercial brass founders in Russia, or was it done in the "backyard" foundry? Which can be the same, in fact ... This is an ordinary 3D engraving. I make parts by the method of lost wax. All the details I do myself. Of course, I do not cast myself. For this, there is a caster in a handicraft workshop. I produce part models and this is the most difficult part of the process. Of course, I will process brass parts with several chemical solutions to obtain an elegant and realistic appearance.

wefalck Posted April 2, 2017 Share #130 Posted April 2, 2017 Very nice. I envy you for this technology (or rather combination of them). I know, in Ukrainian there is no letter 'H', therefore, there are transcription problems: the correct name of the manufacturer/license-giver for the gun is Hotchkiss & Cie. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotchkiss_Ordnance_Company). The new version of the gun looks good, but somehow I have the feeling that you now erred on the large side for the barrel. Maybe this is due to distortions in the photograph, but the gun looks somewhat unbalanced. In theory, it should be more or less balanced by the trunnions.

AlexBaranov Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share #131 Posted April 7, 2017 Hey. I speak and I think in Russian. The Russian language is very expressive and diverse. You certainly will not believe, but all the languages of white people are basically based on Russian sources. On Earth, there are only four main languages (I do not consider two more separate languages (very few people speak these languages)). All other languages are dialects of Russian, Chinese, Swahili and Lakota. The Ukrainian language (I do not use this language (but I know)) is also a dialect of the Russian language. It has all the basic characteristics of the Russian language, and the letters have more than a Latin. I use the GOOGLE translator to avoid making grammatical errors. So, this time the trunks are made correctly. I found a mistake in making the first batch of guns. The whole reason is soft wax. I can not avoid deformation of the workpiece when clamping in the chuck of the machine with subsequent four-sided processing. The breech of the gun is closer to the attachment point, so here the deformations are within one hundredth of a millimeter. However, the end of the trunk deforms much more (1 tenth of a millimeter on each side). The only way to correct the mistake is to change the barrels on a lathe and replace, solder to silver. I continue to remodel (not correct and spoiled wax models) and to make new details. In the near future I will manufacture the matrices based on the previously obtained master models. I will begin to reproduce mass identical parts (the method of lost wax). zoly99sask, wefalck, IgorSky and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted April 7, 2017 Share #133 Posted April 7, 2017 I, indeed, tend to think that parts that were turned on the prototype, such as gun barrels, are best reproduced as turned parts. Casting, 3D-printing, or milling will not reproduce the surface and geometry in sufficient quality. I tried to be polite about the Ukrainian language, as I know from my experience in the UN that some people are quite touchy in this respect However, I would contest your classification of languages. The slavonic (of which Russian is one), romanic and germanic languages have a common root, an indo-european language. Have a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages. And beyond Europe here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_family. This reminds me of an old joke: Q: Which is the most widely spoken language in the World ? - A: Chinese ? - A: No, bad English ! But this is besides the topic. So, back to the topic: I love these CNC-milled wax masters and the cast parts made from them ! I should really look one day into this technique. The main difficulty is to find a brass-foundry that doesn't charge you an arm and a leg ...

AlexBaranov Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share #134 Posted April 7, 2017 Oh! Yes ! How right you are! The caster is really a godsend. I use the services of two casters. The first caster does the job flawlessly. However, his work costs 1 dollar for 1 gram of casting. This is very expensive, so here I'm only giving away relatively light parts and the master of the model (for further copying (multiplication)). The second caster is not that good, but his prices are cheaper by almost half. Sometimes spoils my wax patterns. However, I managed quite well with the last job. There were large details with very thin (0.9) walls. However, I can tell you about the general misconception about the origin of most languages. This topic (if you are interested) we will discuss in personal correspondence (not in this forum). I am ready to tell you very shocking facts. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
