I only know that they come from Russia, that they are expensive, I paid for them in advance and they arrived after about six months. But they are excellent !!!

cotrecerf Posted December 9, 2020 Share #95 Posted December 9, 2020 Thanks, Giampiero, I wondered whether you got the chisels from a different supplier than the Russian; the Russian chisel set was discussed in this forum already. An alternative supplier from say within the European Community would facilitate the order and delivery handling. best regards cotrecerf mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotrecerf Posted December 9, 2020 Share #96 Posted December 9, 2020 Hi Giampiero and friends, sorry, I was wrong: the chisels were discussed in the German ship modeller forum " Arbeitskreis Historischer Schiffbau" under https://forum.arbeitskreis-historischer-schiffbau.de/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1536 rgds mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giampieroricci Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share #100 Posted December 29, 2020 I started building artillery on this frigate. The first idea was to make a silicone rubber mold and pour a two-component resin into it, but it takes too long for each gun. So I decided to make them in lead alloy which has a very low melting temperature. I made the two masters in brass: In the meantime, I started building the carts for the 18-pound guns: rybakov, tadheus, G.L. and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il piombo non è così buono. it's not just lead. is an alloy of lead and antimony. Structurally it is much harder than lead.

It's actually smaller than a penny (16.25mm for a euro cent vs 19.05mm for a penny). (Pardon, crawling back under a pedantic rock).
