Garward

Beautiful work Garward... as usual. A pleasure to follow along..

Hi, Randy, many thanks for the comment!

Hi Garward, you're doing a fantastic job of your Montanes it's one i would like to do in the future.

Hello, kiwiron, I is glad that you like the Montanes model!

Fantastic job... She doesn't look really as an Occre kit but as from museum...

Many thanks for the comment!

Hi, Carl, many thanks for an assessment of my work!   

Thanks, Wayne!

Hi, Keith, thanks for an assessment! 

Bottom deadeye and chains mizzen-masts, left board are established into place.

I am curious which type of glue, CA or Wood glue, is preferred and why. 

I am using CA for the first time.  (also ordered debonder for the first time.)

thanks,

Richard

Each type and grade of glue have the appointment and many of them are suitable for wood pasting. What do you mean by the term "wood glue"?

Thanks Mark.  Just doing some advance research for my Soleil Royal

Thank you for the great pictures. How do you get the lines to lay flat?

Cheers, Harley

Hi, Harley! Model on which I gave the reference, not my production therefore as lines to lay flat in it I not are made I can to tell. In the models I apply almost such method as described here Steve to receiving lines to lay flat.

Hi, Carl, I too found them not in any place, I was lucky: at institute where I work, devices for hardness measurement are used   

Octahedral preparations and yards become by the sizes specified on drawings. The method of production of octahedral preparations applied by me allows to supervise their size (for example, side width) with an accuracy of 0,1 mm.

Photo carronades MS Syren you can see here http://gallery.shipmodeling.ru/main.php?g2_itemId=126077&g2_page=5

As a result the yard with an octahedron in the middle turns out. It is easy to make similar profiles and in other places of a yard.

Octahedral preparation is pierced on the lathe in the right places to a round profile.

As assembly plates, and also anvils, etc. measures of hardness for Brinell (НВ), applied to calibration (checking) of devices well are suitable for measurement of hardness of metal: steel tiles of the set hardness with one polished (non-working) and one polished plainly - parallel surfaces. After the working polished surface is used (it is covered with very superficial prints of balls), measures become unsuitable to application for the intended purpose and jump out scrap metal. Some such used measures with a hardness about 400 НВ (for steel very high hardness) and well ground non-working surface, I "lifted" literally from a floor and I use for construction of models (see, for example, photo on the previous page). Possible sources of measures of hardness - all industries where devices are applied to measurement of hardness of metal: various laboratories of mechanical tests of metals other.

There's a NICE patina on the copper on that one.

Beautiful, its good to have models for reference over instruction.

This model shows Montanes in the state since 1805, when its bottom covered with copper plates. From 1794 to 1805 years Montanes in the bottom of the copper plates was not.
