    Hello cotrecerf! I only paint with an airbrush, on this case I applied 2-component car paint . Apply epoxy primer from a cylinder before painting.

    Model hull before painting.

    This means that you will succeed! The main thing in this process is to achieve an even coating.

    Thanks Gary! This chain is not the smallest, it can be assembled even smaller. But the smaller the chain, the more time it takes to assemble it. When assembling a lot of chain links fly away to the floor, it is almost impossible to find them there. Therefore, it is necessary to have a sufficient number of spare chain links in stock.

    Azzun, thanks for the feedback. If you start writing books, you will have to give up building models, which is impossible for me. Therefore, instead of a book for sale, I can offer to build an interesting model to order, for sale.

    Ras, metal coating I produce in an electroplating bath. I talked about something about electroplating on pages 6-7 of this topic. Unfortunately, my knowledge of English will not allow me to tell you more. But if you type the words "copper plating at home" on YouTube, you can watch many useful videos on this topic in English. It was from such videos, only in Russian, that I learned to work with an electroplating bath.

    Anchor on the brackets.
  11. Valeriy V
    Nickel plating and anchor assembly.
  12. Valeriy V
    Tin anchors are copper plated.
  13. Valeriy V
    Anchor blanks cast from tin.

    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.
  16. Valeriy V
    Thank you Ras! It will be my pleasure if my experience is useful to you.
  17. Valeriy V
    As skills and experience in working with metal appear, this time decreases.
  18. Valeriy V
    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 casting model is made of fiberglass and aluminum.
  20. Valeriy V
    No reason for offense. The casting model was also handcrafted from fiberglass.
  21. Valeriy V
    The anchor has two main parts. These parts are cast in tin and plated with copper and then nickel.
  22. Valeriy V
    For the anchor chain, the anchor itself is needed, I had to make it.
  23. Valeriy V
    The models of these turbine steamers are very interesting, but there are practically no detailed photos on the Internet.
  24. Valeriy V
    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."
  25. Valeriy V
    I have information on the painting of ships of the USSR Navy for the post-war period. Perhaps it will be useful.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
