I thought your metalwork in Varyag was stunning......

this one is even better.

Ah, but we haven't seen the upper works on Varyag yet! 😉

Thank you all for your emotional evaluation. I am glad that I liked the model, although it is still far from complete.

Okay ... mind blown. 😲

I often repeat the same words looking at models of sailing vessels made of wood and even paper on this forum.  :)

Dear Valeriy,

 

absolutely stunning work!  How did you make the cowls of the ventilation shafts, by electro-galvanzed building-up fall-out?

They look so much better than punched half-cowls brazed together.

 

Hello Joachim!

I find it difficult to understand your question, since the translator does not translate the technical text very well. Please indicate with the arrow on the photo what detail you are asking.

The detail on your Ironclad  "Peresvet" is amazing.  I notice that cannon rifling is even visible.   :stunned:  It is indeed the work of a master. :imNotWorthy:

Most of us more normal people can only wish to have one masterpiece in their lifetime. It is clear that we are seeing at least two in the making! You have every right to be very proud of both of them. You clearly have incredible talent!

Valeriy, he's asking about these structures.

 

 

Thank you, Chris.

 

This deflector is welded from two halves. Each half is made of copper by electroforming. At Varyag deflectors will be made by the same method of electroforming, but with whole details, without halves.

I’ve never seen a rifled bore on a ship model before Valerie! Your work reminds me of the finest builders models made by shipping companies in the 1900’s.

Yes it is. Such models are for me a model of the museum style.

Since we are talking about shipping company models of the 1900s ...


For the time being, I have been looking without success for detailed photos of two models of liners of the type "Empress of Japan" (1895).

The first model is stored in Vancouver maritime museum, the second model is in the Canada Science and Technology Museum Ottawa.

 

Perhaps one of our members of the forum will be able to photograph them in detail?  :)

Thanks Valeriy for confirming. I would appreciate very much a description of your technology, if your time allows.

Joachim ,  I  will show the process in pictures, if you have any questions, I will try to answer them.

It will be good if the pictures do not mix up after my upload to the forum...... :unsure:
