Or did you grind it? 11 hours ago, shipman said: Is the lens acrylic? I carved the glass for the spotlight on a lathe from ordinary transparent plexiglass.

shipman Posted April 3, 2022 Share #766 Posted April 3, 2022 Valeriy, will you be reproducing the combat shutters on the front of your spotlights as shown in Joachim's #740 post? I read that German spotlights at Jutland were far more efficient; the shutters could be opened and closed instantly. The British used a kind if iris similar to that fitted to a camera lens. lmagna, popeye the sailor, Valeriy V and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the photographs of the Varyag, such blinds are not visible.

shipman Posted April 3, 2022 Share #769 Posted April 3, 2022 Fool that I am. I gave Inspektor Google' a short commission; he confirms your assurance on the spotlight details. I must say your model makes the 1:62 builders model (St Petersburg) look like a toy 😉 popeye the sailor, Keith Black and lmagna 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crump's ship modellers were faced with the task of showing the appearance of the ship without delving into small details. They did an excellent job with this task. And I will be very happy if my model will look just as beautiful after the same 120 years.

Dr PR Posted April 4, 2022 Share #771 Posted April 4, 2022 Valeriy, Considering the materials and methods you are using, I think it will last a very long time. Hopefully it will be displayed in a museum some day - your work deserves it!
