  1. You're right, the fracture is not obvious at all. I was just asking out of curiosity.
  2. Thanks Peter. Yes, brass is both easy to work with and more durable for this task.
  3. Thanks, Greg. I forgot to mention this: when painting brass material, I use matte spray varnish as a primer. That is, before painting the brass, I apply a layer of varnish and leave it to dry for at least 24 hours, then I paint it. After the paint dries, I apply another layer of varnish and again leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. When I patiently follow this procedure, I achieve good results.
  4. I've started working on the bow details, which are my greatest fear. I see that the most challenging detail for modelers in this model is the white stripes on the rails and other items. I've been pondering for some time about how to make these stripes in the best way. Finally, I decided to try making them out of brass wire. I flattened a brass wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm by hammering it, then shaped it as needed, painted it white, and varnished it. After it dried completely, I carefully glued it onto a test piece. The result looks satisfying. We'll see if I can achieve the same on the model itself."
  5. I was curious, so I wanted to ask, Peter. I don’t have an MS kit, but here’s what I’m wondering: Is the material they sent so limited that you can’t remake that item? Because it’s very small and remaking it isn’t really that difficult.
  6. I am also making the cheek knees using a similar method. The only difference is that I extend the side timbers all the way to the hull, then I will glue the part that I’ll attach to the hull by resting it against the side timber.
  7. I don't know the reason, but recently I've been having difficulty accessing the MSW webpage, even though other websites load quickly
  8. Recently, has anyone been experiencing difficulties accessing the MSW webpage, or is it just me? The page either doesn't load at all or takes a long time to load. Thanks.
  9. Hi Greg, to secure the steps I used 0.6 mm brass pins as you can see in the photo. Of course this helps a lot. It is especially beneficial to use those pins to properly align the steps. Even if it is a painted surface, there is no problem when glued with CA.
  10. I have completed the sea steps. I used 0,5 mm pear strip and cut three pieces to correct size and glued stacked together.
  11. Thomas, thanks for the information and suggestion. I'm sure they will come in handy one day. I've left the guns behind now and am slowly moving towards my nightmare of bow detail and ornament. I try to stay away from it as much as possible but I know I'll face it eventually,
  12. Yes, I had already decided a long time ago that I would build the ship that I only saw in the 3D tour, and I will continue to do so. What I didn't know was that this was the ship before 2015. But thanks to you, it's good to know that now.
  13. Thanks Greg. Yes, that's what I was talking about.
  14. I also thought about adding these screw type carronades, but I gave up because I broke two of the carronades I had while drilling the holes for the screws and I did not have any spare carronades.
  15. From now on, I have to say this to those who ask! "2015 3D tour"
