  1. Chuck, what you are doing for this model of yours is something amazing, with unmatched precision and detail! This proves that when there is synergy between man and machine you can get the best out of both! I follow you with great interest!
  2. a slight difficulty for these hinges: everything is provisional still, I have to prepare the right-hand doors before fixing the bulkhead and beam
  3. you have to use a heat-insulating paste on the solder already made! Like this: https://shop.mealli.it/index.php?id_product=750&id_product_attribute=0&rewrite=pasta-termoisolante-per-saldatura&controller=product&id_lang=1
  4. what an impressive job! just one tiny note if I may: don't those hinges look slightly big?
  5. The fineness of all the details in this splendid work is something unimaginable! A true masterpiece!
  6. I am starting to prepare the support base for the model. The idea is to make a kind of grating with three columns (probably brass) that will support the model.
  7. Outstanding work, Chuck! I really like the shade of wood you are using. What kind of wood is it?
  8. 🙂 I started work on the artillery in early December to make 14 complete guns (and I still have to make the hoists for manoeuvres)! I dread to think how long it would have taken me for a 74 guns!!!
  9. I apologise, it was not my intention to criticise anyone. I just wanted to point out that the finish and the excellent work expressed deserved a better type of wood, the grain of which is too pronounced compared to the scale of the model, that's all! Forgive me if sometimes I cannot express my concepts well, I do not know English perfectly, I help myself with a translator who does not always do his job well!
  10. excellent work! It's just a pity about those wood grains that are too obvious
