    I graduated from the stern decoration. However, the Eagles did not put because had already broken. Sculptures of eagles really stick out beyond the outline of the stern ...

    What metal is better to use?
  3. AlexBaranov
    Hello gentlemen Thank you for your kind remarks. However, I have a creative plan. Necessary to create model in style, but better.

    Good, fine work with metal. Bravo!

    Yes, it's a matter of taste ... However, the taste is different, very different ... But it is worth remembering that we are building a model, there is not a real ship, but a ship model. First of all it is a work of art, so a good visual form, giving birth to the association is always a priority in relation to the exact copying is not possible is a real ship. The laws of physics, chemistry and ergonomics has not been canceled yet ...

    Wonderful model. Very delicate and precise work. Congratulations. However, if I was doing this job, I would not use paint and chose more tenuyu wood with fine texture. However, this is a matter of taste.

    Master Modeler .... It's not my phrase and not my opinion. I believe that much remains to be achieved. It is only mid-way. However, I sometimes use epithets. In the commercial aspect of it is very useful. However, I know that advertising is the most shameless thing, but with this statement always easy to accept. Advertising is the foundation of business.

    Of course there is no secret. All of these ancient methods and artificial aging recipes I found on the internet. I took a lot of experimenting and discover the most successful and easy recipes that give excellent (in my opinion) the result. I wanted to create a model of the ship that it was very similar to the old museum piece. I believe that it makes sense to make the experiment more to get the most excellent quality. I am willing to share my experience. The only problem is explanation. I do not have a daily practice in English but have a deficiency of daily time. So my English is very bad. To write messages I use the electronic translator and correct grammatical errors....

    The basic ingredients and immutable my solution beeswax, paraffin, asphalt, wood rosin, natural soap, wood (pine) turpentine.

    Yes you are right, I am using bitumen for the pigment in wax solutions for aging wood and rigging. This ancient way. However, we know that the bitumen is corrosive with respect to organic materials. So you can not use pure bitumen without beeswax. The negative impact of bitumen on organics was observed long ago, back in the 18th century. However, the method of protection was found by an experimental way. Bitumen is added as an additive to tar and wax solutions. I use beeswax and mineral wax (paraffin). Beeswax has a very small molecular structure. The molecules bind mollekuly wax bitumen and bitumen can not destroy organic materials. By the way, the aging of sails I use a similar solution. But the basic solution always contains wax, paraffin, bitumen, resins, natural soap, wood (pine) turpentine.

    Hi Nigel However, I want to note that this is not the finished work using the method of artificial aging. The process will be completed only after all the work on the ship's hull. I cover parts only wax mastic now for wood preservation.

    Thanks for the kind words Ben

    Hi michaelpsutton2 Okay, I'll write again, and the recipe and method of preparation of solutions. I use two kinds of solutions (water (stain), and based on beeswax (mastic) of varying consistency). However, the photographs shows the processing is not yet finish. I will make the description and explanation completely and totally ready for this process.

    Thanks for the kind words Chuck However, this work has been difficult for me. Good quality of sculpture I have reached only the sixth attempt. Among other things, autumn depression ...

    I graduated from the "furnish" Gondek, a little more effort and I can close it . Before closing, I will do the final photo. Mastered the three-dimensional shapes and almost finished decor stern. Finished completely underwater boards .

    hello I think these are the guns that came to you from Odessa. I was worried about the delivery of these trunks. I judge the photos and I hope you enjoyed the artillery. Alex
  20. AlexBaranov
    Really big and delicate work. I always tip my hat to such models and humans (very great masters) who decide to build these things. I build these models are very rare, so this type of work I admire. Bravo!
  21. AlexBaranov
    Thank you!
  22. AlexBaranov
    Hi Greg! Thank you for your appreciation of our work. Yes, I certainly can publish our recent work on the forum. However, given the experience of the past years, I have to ask permission moderator.
  23. AlexBaranov
    All guns are made in one piece. Of course I can not do any artillery. However, this process does not depend only on me. I do not have a foundry, so hire a caster. Foundry work has a very high price. Very big gun 15 centimeters! The fact that this product will be extremely difficult. I pay 1.5 euro per 1 gram of product. If the artillery is very necessary for you, I propose to discuss this issue more seriously. Need to weigh and count to consider the number and size of models, the total number of artillery guns on each model.
  24. AlexBaranov
    The third day I process the artillery (after casting mechanical and chemical processing). When you consider that a lot of guns, this work is not fun.
  25. AlexBaranov
    Everyone knows that the Earth is round, but there are always people do not always equal status. I highly appreciate my colleagues around the world, and I think that our art has no specific nationality. We all live in a shared house. We are united by common interests. Among other things, this is a decent answer to Mr. Demin (shipyard on the table).

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.
