Valeriy V Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share #903 Posted July 30, 2022 In a galvanic bath, I deposited copper on a lead-tin ingot. Then I smelted the tin and got the finished copper hull of the boat. mtaylor, Rudolf, gsdpic and 28 others 24 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted July 30, 2022 Share #905 Posted July 30, 2022 That’s an ingenious way of making boat-shells. I would not have thought of using galvanoplastics for that. However, as you have the set-up already for e.g. the ventilators it’s logic.

Roger Pellett Posted July 30, 2022 Share #907 Posted July 30, 2022 Very nice work Valeriy. Warship boats are a particular interest of mine. I also liked the soldered brass frame; a great way to keep from losing the hull shape when shaping the intermediate wooden filler blocks. Good to hear that you are safe and well.

Glad to hear you are well and your work (as always) is beyond fantastic. So inspirational. I particularly like the steam boats and your process in creating them.
