giampieroricci Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share #481 Posted November 19, 2016 I remade the central part of the light, with a different technique. I didn't like the previous light. I made a wooden counter-form on which to secure the uprights of the light of two brass supports; I also used a thinner wire, 0.8 mm for the uprights and by 0.4 for the spreaders: Mike Y, cabrapente, popash42 and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteB Posted November 20, 2016 Share #485 Posted November 20, 2016 Looking good - the contrast between the thick and thinner wire seems more prototypical - great work - look forward to seeing it cleaned up.

giampieroricci Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share #490 Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Some small step forward; there is nothing yet fixed, everything is provisional: I would try to do the glazing, but I do not know if I can!

PeteB Posted November 21, 2016 Share #491 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Giampiero - You might like to try using what Railway and aircraft modellers use its a liquid that dries clear and would be ideal for the individual panes in the Lantern - Just dip a tooth pic in the fluid and run it around the edges If you don't like the effect its easy to dissolve I know Testors make one and Model Master do as well. - Cheers Pete Here's a link to the testors with some tech tips http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHN89&P=M couldn't find one for the model master one buts I think its a bit better from memory.

giampieroricci Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share #493 Posted November 29, 2016 for the lantern glazing I thought of a transparent resin that use rail modellers to reproduce the water: I prepared the lantern covering it with wax, to allow casting of two-component resin mtaylor, aviaamator, EdT and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jose_b Posted December 1, 2016 Share #499 Posted December 1, 2016 Hello Giampiero. Wonderful work. I don't know if I've understood the process for glazing the lantern. I suposse you have to mix the two components, and then to cover the lantern with the result. When do you apply wax? How much time does it need to dry? Do you have remove anything? Thanks in advance. mtaylor and aviaamator 2 Quote Building Le François: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9952-le-fran%C3%A7ois-by-jose-scale-1-48-1683/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giampieroricci Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share #500 Posted December 2, 2016 The wax is applied on the outside of the lantern, warming it slightly to be modeled. Then I mixed the two components of the resin and I filled the lantern. The resin takes about 12 hours to dry. When the resin is hardened, it is easy to remove the wax with a bit 'of hot water popash42, mtaylor, aviaamator and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
