    The four propellers are soldered together using a silver-based solder. These photos show the propellers after soldering and cleaning them from carbon deposits using a citric acid solution.

    Ras, the idea with the mosquito net is very interesting! I will definitely remember it.

    Nils, it's great that everything is getting better. I look forward to an interesting continuation of your work.

    I did the marking and cutting of the brass plates manually. There is nothing complicated in this process. The main thing here is the correct determination of the coordinates of the location of the holes for the propeller shafts according to the drawing.

    Screw steering device, but without screws.

    Parts before installation on the hull.

    The propeller shaft brackets are assembled.

    Brazing of propeller shaft brackets.

    Now we need to install the ship's propeller steering device. Marking the directions of the propeller shaft lines.

    I continue working on the cruiser's hull and draw the outline of the armor belt.

    I am looking for a drawing of a propeller that was installed on British cruisers of the 20s of the last century. Perhaps someone will have a drawing of a similar three-bladed propeller.

    The cruiser's hull is filled and sanded.

    Hi, Nearshor! I admire your woodwork and I hope I don't disappoint you either.
  15. Valeriy V
    Thank you, Nils! We look forward to your return to your model.
  16. Valeriy V
    Thank you, Chris! This choice can be considered only half mine, and the other half belongs to the customer.

    Yves, the need to cover the hull of the model with fiberglass and epoxy resin of static models is the result of the experience of previous generations of ship modelers. 1) If you leave the hull unprotected, then, as a result of the effects of moisture and temperature changes on the wood, the contours of the wooden slats of the sheathing will appear through the layer of paint 2) For hardened epoxy resin, fiberglass plays the role of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures. Without fiberglass, the hardened epoxy resin will gradually crack and peel off from the hull.

    Yes, Keith, you are right. I began my work on the cruiser's hull in parallel with the completion of work on Blagoev.
  19. Valeriy V
    The body of the model is covered with fiberglass and epoxy resin.
  20. Valeriy V
    The model hull is mounted on its own supports.

    Thank you, Joachim, for your heartfelt words! Thanks GrandpaPhil! Nice to hear from you!
  22. Valeriy V
    The hull is covered with wooden slats.
  23. Valeriy V
    My actions for making the cruiser hull are normal.

    Thanks to the efforts of our forum members JCARLOSM and Tony Hunt I have a set of detailed photos of this model. I am very grateful and deeply thankful to them. Once again, thank you, friends!

    The Maritime Museum of Madrid has a magnificent model of the Libertad in 1:48 scale. This model is the one that can replace the detailed photographs I am missing.

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.
