  1. Making a 40 foot steam boat. Master model for the boat hull.
  2. Kate, this is a great shot, a great interior, and a wonderful piece of craftsmanship!
  3. Roger was wrong. This post should be moved to the Ras Ambrioso thread. It can be done?
  4. Ras, I'm sure this trouble won't stop you! As a separator, you can try using ordinary stationery tape. Before applying the epoxy, tension must be applied to the stocking. I am posting a photo that I took on this forum, but, unfortunately, I do not remember its author.
  5. For those who need a working model of the Maxim machine gun (1: 1), the drawings are posted on the Internet. https://forums.airbase.ru/2018/03/t82671_133--detali-vooruzheniya-i-oborudovaniya-3.html#p6137565
  6. I remembered that I downloaded this photo from the museum's website when there was an announcement that the museum was closed for reconstruction. Apparently, after the completion of the reconstruction, the model remained standing in the storerooms and was not included in the exposition.
  7. Lou, I use not only a giant match but also the same huge fingers.
  8. Brad, have you seen a model SS " Empress of Japan" with weapons in museums in Canada? I have only a bad photo of this model and it is signed as if from a Canada Science and Technology Museum Ottawa. I want to find a good photo of this model, but so far I have not been able to.
  9. The details were covered with bronze, probably for anti-corrosion purposes.
  10. Unfortunately, this set of the Varyag model has serious errors in the shape of the ship's hull and so on.
  11. Thank you all for your appreciation of my work! I continue my work... Production of a naval version of the Maxim machine gun.
  12. The underwater part of the hull was painted green for a very short period of the ship's life. After the arrival of the Varyag from the USA to Russia, the color was changed to red.
  13. This is what the model looks like after installing the davits.
  14. Ras, your perseverance produces a wonderful result, this is an exciting process! To make a boat hull, try using a nylon female stocking and epoxy resin on a wooden block.
  15. The accuracy class of the parts to a large extent depends on the tools and equipment that you use. The main thing is that you have a desire to make your parts better. So everything will work out!
  16. I made two-sheave blocks in three sizes 3.6 mm . 4.2 mm, 4.8 mm.
  17. Thanks for your kind words! It’s impossible for me to order photo-etching now, so I had to do it manually.
  18. Alexander, your brass work on the stove is just wonderful!
  19. Colleagues, thank you all for your likes and your interest in my work. The rescue device is installed on the model. Ahead of me is an interesting stage in the manufacture of artillery.
  20. Ras, perhaps this photo will be useful to you for making blocks.
