But both will have to be lived to the fullest. That is a great way to look at life, Valeriy, if not the best way.

robdurant Posted November 1, 2022 Share #1024 Posted November 1, 2022 Hi Valeriy, I echo all of the high praise being given for this superb model. I wondered whether you used some form of stamp to create those cross-shaped pieces for the flywheels? Or are they cut out by hand... regardless, the accuracy and consistency of your work is quite astounding. All the very best wishes for you.

In the manufacture of crosses, I took the simplest path - I ordered photo-etching. To achieve a precise production of such a small detail by hand, I would have to spend a lot of time and effort. mtaylor, druxey, shipman and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintergreen Posted November 5, 2022 Share #1039 Posted November 5, 2022 Hi Valeriy, Even if your work is truly amazing and well above the skill level of many of us here it is still very useful to us. It is useful since your work shows what actually can be done at a small scale. Thanks to your build we have been taught how metalwork actually can be accomplished on a model ship. Truly amazing!

Even though these are micro models they look deadly all lined up like that. Valeriy, what's most impressive is each gun looks exactly like its mate. Not close, exactly. That's almost impossible particularly at this scale. As I said, most impressive.

Keith actually spends most of my time building a prototype. On it, the technological map is worked out, errors that arise are corrected, and optimal decisions are made on the further process. After that, mass production of repeated samples does not cause any special difficulties and takes much less time. mtaylor, ccoyle, Ras Ambrioso and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
