hi all
the saga of the hinges continues
the first attempt with copper was not entirely successful so decided to switch back to brass.
the hinges are nearly done ...just a load of 0.5 mm holes to drill....a lot of cleaning up and then to blacken

Hi paul
The hinges are 1/16 by 1/32 brass strip silver soldered to 1/16 od brass tube.
The pins are 1/16 brass rod soldered to the same diameter tube , the tube then filed to the width of the rod.
The two are connected by a 0.8mm diameter brass rivet which is cut off and the end peinned over with a small hammer.
The hinge will be glued to the gunport with epoxy and smaller rivets dropped through the holes to represent bolt heads.
The pin will locate into the hull.
Hope this helps
Cheers.....mick

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.
