you are too good to me! As Socrates used to say, I know I don't know, and for every job I approach I never know if it will be acceptable or if I will have to start over again. I see so many works on this forum that are truly unparalleled works of art and I am enraptured by the skills of so many of you, and I wonder: how do you do it? it is true, sometimes I am amazed by what comes out of my hands, but rarely!

as innisfree said these are not rectangles: it is the circle of axes made from a small brass rod; later they will be burnished, if I can

Congratulations to you, Greg, and to David for this wonderful model! So beautiful that I have already ordered the two volumes and hope they arrive soon, maybe one day I can emulate you!

One source of inspiration is surely the splendid Matiz model!... -
I have started making guns:

Little metal works for the upper deck. I built myself a jeeg for rings with shanks of various sizes:

After a long time, I have finally reached the end of building the galley stove:

With these few pictures I try to explain how I do my welding. The parts must be well cleaned and kept in contact. With a brush I spread the flux all over the part to be soldered. With a flame soldering iron I heat everything around until the flux starts to boil. Now it is time to apply some of the solder, which is a silver-based rod. Care must be taken to protect soldering joints already made with a heat-insulating paste

what precision and what cleanliness!!! you are one of the best modellers I know! Unmatched! One question: will you leave the rudder hinges in brass or use burnisher? (How I love those planes of yours!!!) -
hello Kevin and thank you for your appreciation. As you can also see from the last photo, I am using a heat-absorbing paste to protect the soldering done previously and I must say that it works very well! I simply cut the sheet metal with a pair of scissors as the thickness is very thin (0.25 mm). You can't see it in the photo but I use a wooden counterform for assembly.
