Two good news stories. Is that 'tin' still intact after all that kikin' cheers Pat

Very nice detail in the painting Steven, if it holds up that well under macro/close photography then it would great to the naked eye. cheers Pat -
Tedious but will pay dividends to the final look Ben - nice work on the planking. cheers Pat
-
They must have carried a lot of 'Brasso' on board Very nice work Keith, those strut supports look very good, as does the masses of other metalwork you're creating. cheers Pat

Nice concept Mark; I like the bread n' butter approach and shows the benefits of having a laser cutter. cheers Pat

Gun Spile
BANYAN replied to Mark Allen's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Dr PR, you may be referencing 'chocks'? Also, I am wondering if it may be a misprin=t and actually referring to 'gun spikes' used to help train the gun? cheers Pat -
How to use a Circle Cutter by Dan Vadas
BANYAN replied to Dan Vadas's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Looks good Dan and thanks for the feedback and tips. cheers Pat -
Could she have carried a small boat up there? or perhaps a painters plank? However, these maybe out of character with the rest of the vessel and the 'patch up a more palatable solution. cheers Pat

I had the pleasure of seeing this model first-hand last night and the detail is exquisite! Looks even better than the high quality shown in the photographs. Cheers Pat

All that brass work, must have kept the crew busy with the "Brasso" Nice work as usual Keith, look forward to seeing the holes all filled. cheers Pat

Beautiful work, they look excellent. Are you going to imitate the wood with paint? cheers Pat
-
Ah the joys of micro modelling; glad to see you still maintain a sense of humour about it. cheers Pat

Sorry to be late to the party Keith :). That is a great finish to the hawse pipes and typical of your excellent metal work . I like the turning set-up cheers Pat
-
Looks great despite the lighting issues mate; you can be justifiably happy with your results. cheers Pat

I think experimentation is the only way to find out for sure. Looking at the illustration, I think putting 24 onto 22, then that assembly onto 23 looks easier. I would also use two different temp solders, and use the higher tem on 24/22 first. it might also help to make two small wooden jigs/rests onto which to rest the parts while soldering - shape these so that the two parts are at their correct respective heights to each other, with a front and rear 'lip' ( or simply use a small piece of blue tack at front and extreme rear) to keep them in place; scrap wood will do the job. I wouldn't worry about the blue tack being a heat sink as it will be far enough away from the joint. I think your biggest concern will be 'blowing' holes in the brass with too much heat (depending on its thickness)so some heat sinks may even be beneficial. cheers Pat
