And now all that remains for me is to make the parts of the required sizes and solder them together.

Two parts #2 are a truncated cone with previously known parameters. Using a calculator (online) to calculate the dimensions of the truncated cone scan, I get the dimensions I need. https://stanok74.ru/klientam/poleznye-formuly-i-dannye/kalkuljator-rascheta-razvertki-konusa-iz

Phil, thank you for your kind words, I am flattered! In this situation with the manufacture of a sloping visor, everything is also quite simple. If the part is of a rather complex configuration, then I try to apply the following principle: - divide the complex part into several very simple ones in configuration - concentrate your efforts not on the manufacture of one very complex part, but on the assembly of several simple ones into one single and complex part.

Jan, thank you for your feedback! And I will allow myself to comment on it a little. What you called "gifted" I still put in third place in importance. Experience and skills definitely claim second place. But in first place should be the necessary high-quality machines and tools, because without them the necessary experience cannot appear and no gifted can help with this.

Thanks, Gary! There's really nothing particularly complicated about it. The main condition is to maintain the manufacturing accuracy of the parts within 0.1-0.2 mm. And then their assembly by soldering is not difficult.

The contours of the model gradually take shape.

Thank you all for your kind comments and likes!!!

6. and now I am putting all the parts of the chimney together
-
5. soldering the ventilation visor in the upper part of the pipe casing
-
4. soldering the ventilation visor in the lower part of the pipe casing

3. soldering side panels

2. soldering of end panels.

Hello everyone! I am making progress on the cruiser model. And it is time to solder the smoke pipes. 1. The pipe frames are soldered.

Thanks Phil! For painting, the degreasing process is of primary importance. Surface roughness is secondary. I degrease surfaces with caustic soda (NaOH).

Everything shown in the photos is soldered without using a radiator. I very rarely use a radiator. In this process, you need to determine the correct soldering sequence. First, the most massive parts are soldered and only after that the small parts are soldered. In this case, you can do without a radiator.

Thank you all for your feedback and likes! And I have a small continuation of brass soldering. These are the upper tiers of the bow superstructure.
-
Congratulations, Pat, on a successful completion of the project! 👍👌 Thanks for the great report and I look forward to your next one.

The walls of the bow and stern superstructure are welded together.

I am starting work on the metal part of the cruiser model. Assembling the engine room casing.
-
Pat, you have some great skills building large scale models! I'm really enjoying your thread. I'm curious how you handled the dual steering. What kind of linkage did you use?
-
Thank you, Tony! Yes, whoever designed these ships did a great job! Their hulls were very graceful and fast.

Hello everyone! I continue working on the cruiser's hull. Installing plates covering the joints of the armor plates.
