Cruiser Varyag 1901 by Valeriy V - FINISHED - scale 1:75


Recommended Posts

Masterful work Valeriy!  Everything fitting into place perfectly - so clean and precise.  Who knew a utilitarian metal stairway could also be an item of beauty?  Remarkable craftsmanship and the silver plating is an elegant touch.

Thanks Gary!

You are absolutely right - the method of highlighting small details on trivial nodes makes it possible to turn the simplest boat into an interesting art object.

After all, you yourself do this on your models. ;)

Such a pleasure to see your work Valiery. I would love to see more detail of your metal working. It hard to always see from the finished item how you went about the assembly

Thanks Keith. I do not have the opportunity to photograph the manufacturing process of all parts. There are a lot of them and there is always very little time. :) 

 It will be easier if you ask me about a specific detail and I will try to answer your question in as much detail as possible.

Greetings to you, Alexander!

Thank you for your feedback and I am a little behind the times, so the question for you is - have you started your new project or are you still choosing?

Beautiful work Valeriy but unless I'm missing something it appears that one of the "V" cut gears needs to be turned the other way, those teeth won't mesh like that.

Yes, Bedford,  you are right. :) 

This is only a rough assembly, the shaft on the electric motor is also  temporary, it will be shortened later.

Yeah I didn't think you'd make a mistake like that but thought it should be pointed out just in case. There are people who really can't get their heads around gears and the like.

The shackles are terrific!   Are you making the flanges separately and soldering the to the ends of the half round rods or flattening the ends then filing them to shape or some other method?

Thanks for sharing!!

More beautiful work Valeriy!  I ditto Druxey's remark - "That is the nicest miniature shackle I've seen."  Thanks for showing us how.

Allan, everything is very simple - I show it with the example of a large rod. ;)

Thanks, Keith. The photo shows a wire with a diameter of 0.9 mm, but for other shackles I use wire from 0.7 to 1.2 mm.

Valeriy,

 

You must have a draw plate that converts round wire to that with a D shaped cross section.  What is it called?

 

Roger

Sorry Roger, but I don't know the exact name in English, maybe it's a die.
