  1. Thanks Joachim! I hope that my happiest times are still ahead of me.
  2. 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.
  3. I continue to move towards the completion of my project. Details of the Kane 152 mm gun.
  4. Ras, this is a translation error - " well sharpened cutter for a lathe ".
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. There are a lot more details missing, but they are too small for a scale of 1:75.
  10. 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.
  11. Sasha, now against the backdrop of a wonderful gun, your inspector looks very respectable.
  12. Thoughtful work without undue haste gives excellent results. And the sailor on the deck is too small in scale or is it a cabin boy?
  13. Thanks Keith. The polished brass is painted by me with a clear lacquer - Zapon.
  14. This is a rapid-fire 63.5 mm gun designed by engineer Baranovsky. On the ship, it was installed on a special machine; during the landing, it was removed and placed on a wheeled collapsible gun carriage.
  15. Keith, I continue to admire your work and continue to learn from you. Great job and great result!
  16. Thank you all for your likes and comments! I continue to manufacture weapons for the cruiser. Landing gun Baranovsky.
  17. Everything depends on the scale. And still it is necessary to make various equipment and adaptations.
  18. Any material requires respect, and metal especially.
