    Hi, Phil! I continue to admire your work. 👍👌 I'd like to say a few words about painting brass. The problem isn't that paint doesn't adhere well to brass, but that brass needs to be degreased before applying primer. Solvents like acetone don't degrease. They only dissolve the grease, but they don't completely remove it from the surface. Even if you dip the part in acetone, the grease dissolves, and when you remove the part and let the acetone dry, the grease reappears. It doesn't change its chemical composition. Completely degreasing brass is done in a caustic soda solution (NaOH). As a result of the chemical reaction, all the grease on the brass surface turns into soap flakes and precipitates. After this, I rinse the part with running water, dry it with a hair dryer, and apply primer.

    Thank you, Nils! I'm flattered by your feedback. I hope your words come true and my photos help someone master brass soldering techniques and perhaps something else altogether. Happy New Year!
  23. Valeriy V
    Thank you all for your feedback, likes and congratulations! I made the decking boards from rowan, and the side boards (watersides) from pear. Besides rowan, I also typically use maple and birch for decking. In my opinion, these woods best reflect the color of the decking after exposure to sun and saltwater. I use pear for the watersides because I like the contrast, which visually highlights the fine details. To simulate the seams between the boards, I use black paper.

    I welcome all forum members to the new year, and I hope it brings only good news. And I'm continuing construction of the cruiser model. Wooden deck planking.
  25. Valeriy V
    Precision is essential when drilling the holes; this is the most difficult step. This is achieved using a coordinate table on a drilling machine. The brackets themselves are soldered sequentially, using the pre-drilled holes. And there's nothing complicated about that.

    Mounting platforms for main caliber guns.
  27. Valeriy V
    The mainmast is almost completely assembled.

    Assembling the upper platform.

    Thank you all for your feedback and likes, and I continue... Mainmast. Soldering the ladder brackets and assembling the tripod.

    Yes, I understand you. Apparently, it's something like this machine. On these rollers, the square that is produced is indeed far from ideal.
  31. Valeriy V
    This is an interesting machine. I would like to see it. Can you show it?
  32. Valeriy V
    After removing the wire from the drum and removing the manufacturing allowances, I obtained 2.1 m of the semicircular profile I needed. I think that with a little modification to the drum, it could also be used to produce a square profile.
  33. Valeriy V
    After being sharpened with a cutter, the wire on the drum took on this appearance.
  34. Valeriy V
    Then I wound it with 2 mm diameter wire and inserted the drum into the lathe. The length of wire that fit onto this drum was 2.3 m.
  35. Valeriy V
    Hello everyone! Today I'll share a method for making a semicircular brass profile. Perhaps this will be useful for someone building models. The simplest way to create a semicircle is with a jewelry die. However, when the wire diameter increases beyond 1.5 mm, significant physical force or a special drawing mechanism is required. I decided to make my life a little easier and made this drum.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
