garyshipwright Posted January 24, 2021 #31 Posted January 24, 2021 She is outstanding and the attention to detail is also outstanding good sir, and you have my highest respect for your metal work and boat building skill's. Thank you for sharing. Gary Dali 1 Quote HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779
cotrecerf Posted January 24, 2021 #32 Posted January 24, 2021 Hello Dali, very ingenious manufacturing and a superb model. Thanks for your examples for me to follow. With the hull almost completed, do you also build the masting and rigging, or do you leave it as a hull only build? When and how will you mount the hull on the final display stand? best regards cotrecerf Dali 1 Quote
Dali Posted January 24, 2021 Author #33 Posted January 24, 2021 Thanks a lot for the likes and feedback. Cotrecerf, Alert will have masts and sails according to the book "Anatomy of the Ship - Cutter HMS Alert - 1777". I don't know yet what the final stand will be.

cotrecerf Posted January 25, 2021 #34 Posted January 25, 2021 Hello Dali, my question about the final placing of the hull on the final stand was pertaining to the handling of the hull with all it's delicate inner and outer details and their potential damaging whilst mounting to the final display stand. I am pondering this question with my own model presently before I will condinue with all deck items, cannon mounting etc. in order to avoid any damaging. best regards cotrecerf mtaylor 1 Quote
Dali Posted January 25, 2021 Author #35 Posted January 25, 2021 Hi Cotrecerf. Oh, now I understand your question. I was concerned about permanently attaching everything to the deck, but I did attach everything except the pumps. Now I will have to be careful with the rigging, but I don't think it will be too bad. The cannons had to be attached permanently, there was no exit, the winch (capstan) had to be permanently attached, because the bowsprit would be attached to the winch.

Doc Watson Posted February 4, 2021 #38 Posted February 4, 2021 Superb work, what mill do you have (and it is a rotary indexer Greg). I also love the weird 'helpers' that appear from time to time. Looks like they are now putting out requests... I would go for Echoes..... my fav PF track. Andy Dali 1 Quote
Dali Posted February 4, 2021 Author #39 Posted February 4, 2021 Thank you very much for your opinions and likes Yes it is a swivel vise adapted to the Proxxon milling machine, very precise and useful thing.

cotrecerf Posted February 12, 2021 #45 Posted February 12, 2021 Hello Dali, once more: your work is fantastic! What ready-made product or which chemicals do you use for blackening the metal parts, it seems to work well on solderered spots? Would you mind describing you process? best regards Joachim Quote
Dali Posted February 12, 2021 Author #46 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Thank you for liking, thank you Joachim, thank you Daniel. Hello Joachim, I use BRADIM Oxide for brass blackening. Oxidation does not black evenly, I try to keep the tin as little visible as possible and more from the inside. Do czernienie mosiądzu używam Oksydę BRADIM . Oksyda nie czerni równomiernie, staram się żeby cyny było jak najmniej w miejscu widocznym a bardziej od wewnątrz.

Wow, I'm amazed, especially the colour choice of the ropes and the very fine seizings please my eyes! What is your method for seizing? Greetings Joachim shipman, bruce d and Mirabell61 3 Quote

Hsae Posted February 26, 2021 #55 Posted February 26, 2021 Hello Piotrek, I noticed that you have an LED light on your Proxxon mill. Can you tell me where you get it? Is it with batterie? Thanks! BTW, excellent build! 👍👍👍 GrandpaPhil 1 Quote
Dali Posted February 27, 2021 Author #56 Posted February 27, 2021 Hello. Joachim, please ask the question more precisely again, because the Google translator explains it so much that it is incomprehensible to me. Jean-Paul, I do the ropes myself, I use ordinary sewing threads Talia 30 and Talia 120. The photo below. Gary, Me and my crew, thank you. 🙂 Hsae, I bought the LED lamp on Ebay, it is nice, shapely, well made of good materials, powered by 230 V / 50 Hz and most importantly it fulfills its task. Below is a link to the store. https://www.ebay.de/itm/164086042897?fbclid=IwAR35O5R0y9f0eCbQ19GbPhMmrcuiLGfoSXxG1rehb2L6xzvBX_uhtZYNQCQ Thank you very much for your kind words and likes.
