Keith actually spends most of my time building a prototype. On it, the technological map is worked out, errors that arise are corrected, and optimal decisions are made on the further process. After that, mass production of repeated samples does not cause any special difficulties and takes much less time.

Phil, this license is for 9mm. And if you have 11 barrels with a caliber of 152 mm, then there will be very few people who want to ask you for a license.

Thank you all for your likes and comments. I am glad that my work is of interest and may be useful to someone. Group photo of guns.

Hi Rob! In the manufacture of crosses, I took the simplest path - I ordered photo-etching. To achieve a precise production of such a small detail by hand, I would have to spend a lot of time and effort.

Thanks to everyone who follows my work for your likes and comments! Judging by my life, I can say that difficult times exist all the time, they sometimes become less difficult, and sometimes very difficult. But both will have to be lived to the fullest. Ras, this duplication is helped by the use of turning and milling machines.

Phil, nickel plating won't solve your problem. On top of the tin, the nickel will be darker than in the adjacent brass area. To solve this problem, it is necessary to open the part with copper before nickel plating.

3) The final operation is the coating of the zapon part with varnish. This transparent varnish will close the surface of the metal from the access of oxygen and the brass part will retain its mirror shine for a long time. If the detail is small, you can apply varnish with a brush, if it is large, you can cover it with a balloon.

2) The next operation allows you to get a mirror surface of the metal. To do this, I use felts of various roughness and polishing pastes for metal.

Phil, polishing brass is not a very difficult process. 1) If I make a part on a lathe and the forosho cutter is sharpened, then the surface of the part already becomes smooth. After that, I sand the part with sandpaper of various sizes from about # 320 to # 1200 until I get the desired shiny surface. This part of polishing is easier to do immediately on a lathe, but if the part is complex, then you have to work manually and with a drill.

Alexander, this is the result of incredible perseverance! Looking at your work, I understand that only the case made of their metal attracts me for modeling.

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.
