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. -
Sasha, now against the backdrop of a wonderful gun, your inspector looks very respectable.
-
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?

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.

Keith, I continue to admire your work and continue to learn from you. Great job and great result!
-
Thank you all for your likes and comments! I continue to manufacture weapons for the cruiser. Landing gun Baranovsky.

Everything depends on the scale. And still it is necessary to make various equipment and adaptations.

Andy, the big deflectors are electroformed, which I have talked about before. Small deflectors are cast in bronze. Thanks Rookie! I hope everything works out as you say.
-
Thanks Nils! I will be sincerely glad if my knowledge will be useful for someone here.

Thanks Roger! Unfortunately, I have no information on the history of the Varyag steam boats. But you are absolutely right that their origin is connected with British shipbuilding.
-
Thanks Phil! Inside these boats there was a boiler room with a steam boiler and an engine room with a steam engine. Passengers could only be accommodated outside, in the aft and bow cockpits. The boat was mainly intended for the transportation of officers, towing boats and other similar works. Armament was placed on the boat temporarily, for example, for patrolling, guarding a raid, and a landing operation. My digital camera Canon S3IS is already old and I am pleasantly surprised by your high appreciation of its work. If I understand correctly, the correct lighting of the subject plays a big role for a successful shot.

Thanks everyone! I am very pleased that my work is interesting and causes so many positive emotions! This means that my efforts in the field of photography are not in vain. I've finished assembling steam boats.
