Hull after the finish

Construction winch

Construction of the base

I wanted to make the base to be set out in the window, in order to have the ship on a slipway site.
I wanted to get an antique effect as some models in museums.

I used a wooden base that I covered, cherry wood, with the grain in the central part oriented to the long side, and on the edges perpendicular.
I added a decoration between the two frames

I put the tape to leave free areas for bonding.
The finishing was done with shellac

Rear doors

Finishing the hull

Construction of the anchors
I realized the anchors with the bars and plates of brass.
I have realized a form of wood for the curvature.
I soldered the pieces with tin.
After I finished with the drill Proxxon

Test of of burnishing

I had never used this type of burnishing.

From the evidence I've seen that's not good to leave the piece immersed until the burnishing, but it is best to immerse and then take it off after 20-30 seconds, then go left to air and then rub with a woolen cloth.
after the operation must be repeated 8/9 times to get a good coating.

I had a kind of burnishing that works in one dive, it was given many years ago now is ending and I lost the recipe ....

Construction of ladders

I used this system seen in a forum.
It works very well

Construction of 'winch

Riveting bridge
I tried different techniques to see which one was better.
I made several holes with tips 0.5 / 0.6 / 0.8 mm
I inserted the tip of a graphite pencil in the hole and then I put a bit of glue.
then sanded after this is the effect obtained.
The system toothpicks is great but very long and I did not want to use it.
