  2. Hi Brett! Interesting project, I would love to watch it. What blueprints do you use to build the model?
  3. Main Particulars Original Length over all: 41,76 m Breadth moulded: 5,48 m Draught max.: 1,83 m Speed: 14,5 kn
  4. Ras, I found information on the Siamese Revenue cruiser "SURIYA MONTHON" on the Internet. Its technical characteristics are completely the same as your cruiser "AMAPA". Perhaps this information will be useful to you.
  5. Analogues should be looked at on American ships built by Crump.
  6. Gary, Keith thanks! These wooden bends take a lot of time and effort.
  7. Probably before the battle it could be removed from the wheelhouse. This wheelhouse was unarmored and the compass would have been easily destroyed.
  8. In the "Varyag" wheelhouse, the linoleum pattern was just that.
  9. Thank you all for your warm reviews and likes! My work continues.
  10. Jan, linoleum for the floor is printed on a printer and covered with adhesive tape on top. To avoid excess shine, the tape is treated with fine sandpaper.
  11. Thanks to everyone who is interested in my work. The cruiser wheelhouse.
  12. Sasha, now I am calm for the safety of your corps.
  13. Sasha, is the body of your model covered on the outside with fiberglass with epoxy resin, or is it just impregnated with epoxy resin? If the housing is only coated with resin without glass cloth, there is a huge risk of water damage.
  14. Sasha, I follow your work with great interest. Looking at the photo where the model is on the water, I am concerned about the issue of wooden superstructures and other wooden details. Water can spoil them. Why don't you use plastic and brass?
  15. Keith, I am still amazed at your desire for detail. It is with pleasure that I continue to observe the birth of a beautiful model.
  16. I continue to build a model of the cruiser. Assembling the aft bridge.
  17. The easiest way is to use knurling as shown in this video.
  18. Thanks , Dj bobo ! To protect against oxidation, brass can be coated with transparent nitro lacquer, zapon lacquer.
  19. Roger, I'm glad to help you. Please note that with the help of rolling knives, you can only create an imitation of a gear. Real working gears must be manufactured using a different technology.
  20. Ras, it would be easier for you to work if you first put the planking rail and only then put the blank. I admire your tenacity!
