Fantastic video Giampiero! Silver solder will not work if gaps are present. Is this the same for resistance soldering?

For now, I am gaining experience with this type of welding, but I must say that it has undoubted advantages, if only for the convenience of use

Buon giorno Giampiero,

 

she is a real beauty! I see, that the blackened metal parts such as chain plates etc show no scratches or uncovered spots at all.

How do you proceed with the mounting of these parts:

1. Dry fit the un-blackened on the model first?

2. Take these parts all off again and dismantle the wooden components such as the deadeyes etc.?

3. Blacken (what is the agent?) all metal (brass?) first and then reinstall the wooden components again.? (great risk of hurting the metal and the blackening)

4. Finally fastening of the completed and blackened part on the ship ?

 

Or alternatively

1. Dry fit the un-blackened on the model first and then

2. Blacken them in situ? Not staining clear wooden parts with the blackening agent (Liver of sulphur?)

 

I would be very gateful if you enlighten me in these matters.

 

best regards

 

Joachim

Thank you Joachim!
For burnishing metals (I almost always use brass or, alternatively, copper) I use this product that I bought in the armoury.

For the burnishing process, I prefer to burnish the metal parts after they are permanently attached to the model. First, however, it is necessary to treat the underlying wood with a coat of shellac to seal the pores of the wood and prevent the burnishing liquid from penetrating into the fibres and ruining their appearance with stains that are difficult to remove.

Giampiero that is a most beautiful model, I congratulate you on a great achievement!

 

The tidiness of your workshop is almost as impressive also! 

 

All the best,

Now that is a Pegasus!!  A fitting figurehead for such an amazing ship - good luck with the carving I'm sure it will be fantastic 👍

I have no doubt that your figurehead will be magnificent Giampiero. I do fear that that extended right leg will be amputated over time though. Perhaps that's why when horses rear up both fore legs usually are pulled in (see David Antscherl's pegasus below).
