Manufacturing of the Admiralty anchor. The die-cast model is made of aluminum and brass.

There are no objections from me. I myself am most interested in this period of steam shipbuilding. Ras, you have a good choice of scale. At this scale, you can show a lot of small details on the ship model. Thank you Ras. I will be happy to help you with my knowledge in the construction of your gunboat.

Thanks everyone for your kind feedback and likes! Vaddoc you did it in vain, because my magazine will not disappear anywhere, and every party is unique and there is no need to be late for it!

The anchor has two main parts. These parts are cast in tin and plated with copper and then nickel.

The models of these turbine steamers are very interesting, but there are practically no detailed photos on the Internet.

This is a 295-page book "Ship Painting Rules." But only 2 pages, which I scanned for you, are devoted to the colors of the external coloring. It should be borne in mind that these are recommendations for the selection of paint colors, and not strict rules. As far as I know, the Soviet navy did not adhere to very strict shades of colors. The sailors even have a saying on this score - "what kind of paint the boatswain will make, we will paint this way."

I have information on the painting of ships of the USSR Navy for the post-war period. Perhaps it will be useful.

At the shipyards of Germany, 5 steamships were built for the Volunteer Fleet steamship company: - steamships Orel, Poltava and Ryazan had a length of 103 meters and a displacement of 3500 tons - steamships Simbirsk and Penza had a length of 95 meters and a displacement of 2,700 tons. At the beginning of the WW1, the Orel was armed and became an auxiliary cruiser. SS Ryazan was captured by the cruiser SMS Emden. Later it was converted into a raider SMS Cormoran .

There are no wooden or plastic kits for this model. But there is a very good development of patterns for a paper model SS "Orel", from which you can build a wooden model or from another material.
-
This means that I have successfully selected this picture. Thanks a lot, Eugenio!
-
Hello Eugenio! SS "Simbirsk" was similar in appearance to the SS "Orel", but was shorter in length by 8 meters.

Thank you, Chris! The swift hull of this ship resembles another turbine steamer in the St. Patrick series. Yes, I really like these ships and under some conditions I would gladly take on the construction of one of them.

Colleagues, thank you for your help! -
There is a model of a ship in the museum's exposition, but its name is not in the photographs. Maybe someone knows his name? Maybe someone else has photos of this model?

This is a fire hose reel. This is a beautiful car! In general, the design of technology from the 60s has some kind of special appeal, both in cars and ships.

Cotrecerf, Keith, Phil , Gary ! Thanks for your comments! In fact, this process of making a chain is not complicated and does not cause any particular difficulties. Soldering the buttresses to the chain is a bit of a tedious task, but it is most suitable for long winter evenings. It took me two evenings to make these two chains. The most difficult part was cutting the buttress to the required length because it is very small. Phil, you've almost got your chain link sizing correctly - actually 4.8mm - 3.2mm.
