    Thanks for that discussion. I will try Sparex after soldering before blackening and cut the Brass Black with water at 1:5 and report. Is the Sparex suitable for degreasing such that the pickled piece can go directly into the blackening solution, or is it best to rinse with water or acetone first? HD

    It’s like the patina rubs off. I’ve tried cleaning again with Acetone and dipping a third time, but that doesn’t seem to really solve the problem., Any thoughts?

    Yes. Overlooked the section in vol 2. What does it mean when my blackened pieces, even after 2 drippings in Birchwood Casey Brass Black, when dried, leave spots of copper looking metal when gently rubbed????? Henry

    Remaining swivel guns, rails, safety ropes. Deadeyes and stern light next. Can someone tell me what the large beam mounted across the foredeck and protruding well off the starboard side was for? Henry

    The swivel guns took about a month. After I mounted those on the quarter deck, I realized I was one short for the fore deck! Been counting constantly, just to make sure they were all there. So, of course, one is missing. Looked everywhere. Anyway, making one more shouldn’t be a major deal. Just beating my head!! Also, one of my LED leads broke off where it exits on the bottom of the keel. No slack. Oh well. I might cut a section out of the keel to retrieve the end of that lead. Haven’t decided.

    The stern complete. The wing!! Not broken yet.

    Third go at Perseus. Each one a little better than the last.

    Doesn’t pass the camera test but at 1/48, that’s my best shot. If I tried to smooth it out, there’d be breakage!

    Perseus minus right arm holding Medusa’s head. To be added later with Pegasus’ wing. Too many break offs!

    Thanks Kevin. The TurboCarver bits on the mill were invaluable in making the pilasters. And the Tulle mesh is perfect. Trying to decide what’s next. Henry

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
