HMS PEGASUS by giampieroricci - Scale 1:36 - Swan-Class Sloop from plans by David Antscherl & Greg Herbert


Recommended Posts

Such a fine craftsman you are. I was about to abandon my crude efforts on the stove, but your work has inspired me not to give up…. Yet. One difficulty I am encountering is soldering a third piece to an already soldered joint between two other pieces, as in connecting the cross piece between the two side frames. How do you keep the first one from melting?

you have to use a heat-insulating paste on the solder already made!

Like this:

Keep pasting on the ochre on all the joints you wish to protect. Or, if you mean soldering three pieces together in the same spot, you either need to solder them simultaneously or use a lower melting point solder for the second pass to attach the third piece (can be tricky!)

Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series  http://trafalgar.tv
