  1. I greet everyone! I continue to build the model. Making a hawser reel.
  2. I greet everyone! I continue to build the model, in the photo the assembly of the aft bridge.
  3. The lever is needed to rotate the gear axis, it is removable.
  4. Thank you all for your feedback and likes. I continue to work on the ventilation pipes. I make a mechanism for turning the trumpet.
  5. Yes, Eberhard, these parts are made using electroforming. The wax mold is coated with a conductive layer of graphite and lowered into a galvanic bath. I already told the details in my topic above.
  6. Hi Ilhan ! These are fire buckets. In your drawing they are standing on a shelf.
  7. It doesn’t matter, you can buy such solder in Ukraine. For instance http://www.zpsplav.com.ua/pripoi/posk50-18/
  8. Thanks, Michael ! In this assembly, I did not use any heat dissipation devices. I applied a simple scheme of sequential actions - initially massive metal parts are welded together and only after that small parts are soldered. In a short time of soldering smaller parts, the remaining larger ones do not have time to heat up very much. Therefore, the parts do not fall apart from overheating. A special role is played by the composition of the solder: Sn - 50% Pb - 32% Cd - 18% This solder spreads very quickly in the right direction and this nuance allows you to reduce the heating time of the surrounding parts, protecting them from overheating. With this soldering, I mainly use a 30W and 60W soldering iron, very rarely 80W. And only the sharp tip of the soldering iron.
  9. Rosters , ammunition rail and bridge for the transition are soldered together.
  10. No, I did not use the template. A simple soldering process has been applied here.
  11. Keith , when soldering with tin, I use a thin soldering iron tip and after soldering I carefully clean the traces of solder.
  12. I welcome all members of the forum in 2020. And I continue to build my model ...
  13. Thank , Gary! They are intended for fastening davits and soon I will show them in action.
  14. To my regret, the Russian fleet of that period was a collection of ships with technical characteristics that were very different from each other. Therefore, it is impossible to call the Russian fleet balanced, this is one of the reasons for the tragedy of defeat. Although undoubtedly the ships were beautiful.
  15. Hi Hubert! I am glad that my reports will help you. Join us and we will build steam fleet models together.
  16. I completely agree with you. And with the author of the book from Germany ....
  17. Thanks Michael! I’ll also add from myself that it’s more convenient for me to process a round bar on a milling machine.
  18. Keith, everything is simple - I don’t have a square bar of suitable section size.
  19. The bucket seat is only for the commander of the ship. If I understand you correctly....
