Koa4225 Posted August 12, 2018 #161 Posted August 12, 2018 Looks awesome! Did you polish up the brass cannons by hand, or were you able to clean them up in some sort of chemical solution? Old Collingwood 1 Quote
zappto Posted August 13, 2018 Author #162 Posted August 13, 2018 For my rusty brass cannons i was using autossol, it works very good. Ps, need to work with gloves, it gives nicely black hands!

Koa4225 Posted August 14, 2018 #163 Posted August 14, 2018 I see! Never heard of the stuff before but I'm going to pick some up and give it a go. How do you plan to preserve the shine on the cannons now that they're looking good? Quote
zappto Posted August 15, 2018 Author #164 Posted August 15, 2018 I was thinking to use some transperant lasquer, but i still like natural brass color. I will leave it as it is now. Still a lot of cannons left for me to create. Work is going on. Old Collingwood 1 Quote Current build: Mamoli - La gloire 1778 Finished builds: Mamoli - Friesland 1663 Mamoli - Lexington 1776
