KORTES Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share #63 Posted May 25, 2022 I made two options for windows rats - cameras on the aft shells. I haven't yet decided what color I will choose for them. archjofo, Rudolf, G.L. and 16 others 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTES Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share #64 Posted May 31, 2022 Greetings, dear colleagues. I have made anchor closures. The absence of a lathe makes me look for other manufacturing options. First I made tubes of various sizes. Then I soldered a wire belt. I made one version of brass. I tried it looks nice, but not authentic, on the ships they were made out of lead. I'll try another version of iron so it's closer in color.Then I'll choose between the two. bruce d, archjofo, Valeriy V and 10 others 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted May 31, 2022 Share #65 Posted May 31, 2022 If you're wanting an iron appearance, wouldn't a blackening agent work?

KORTES Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share #66 Posted June 1, 2022 Dear Mark I was considering the blackening, but in this case I would get black color. mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTES Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share #67 Posted June 1, 2022 I have made the second version of the anchor fairleads. I think this option will be more suitable. mtaylor, FriedClams, rlb and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTES Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share #68 Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) I have made protective grilles for the skylights. For now I just made a fitting before blackening. Or maybe it's better not to blacken ? Edited June 11, 2022 by KORTES FriedClams, bolin, allanyed and 18 others 19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember seeing iron skylight grilles.

French Mr Bean Posted June 26, 2022 Share #71 Posted June 26, 2022 Very nice work. I think brass would be best. (the decision is up to the modeler ) Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote Friendly, health and peace for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTES Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share #72 Posted June 26, 2022 I have made a galley stove. I had to redo it again, because of the failure on blackening stage. The first option had to be rejected. The technology is simple, all the details are soldered. cotrecerf, Siggi52, ccoyle and 23 others 20 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORTES Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share #79 Posted July 13, 2022 I tried to cover it with oil. But the oil had highlighted some defects of the wood.

dvm27 Posted September 19, 2022 Share #87 Posted September 19, 2022 I beg to differ with you Kortes - there is plenty to show. Your meticulous lining out for the treenails and their placement is flawless. I'm guessing you'll need to touch up those wales after sanding the hull.

KORTES Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share #89 Posted September 23, 2022 The result of the grinding is not yet very presentable. Beauty will appear only after coating with oil. I slightly moistened the hull to show the pins. It looks like this. bruce d, G.L., Tobias and 9 others 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
