Cyclone-Class Destroyer 1902 by Valeriy V - scale 1:45 - Russian Imperial Navy

[Valeriy V]

This year, divers discovered these three wrecks and brought many interesting details to the surface.
  Here is a link to a story about these dives under water.

Useful for a model reconstruction. Such details are often not otherwise documented.

I welcome all members of the forum and continue my report on the construction of the destroyer.  

 

The bow wheelhouse of the ship.

I suppose you worked the brass-sheet over wooden formers?

I'm sorry, but I didn't quite understand your question. 

[wefalck]

The question was: how did you shape the brass pieces, over wooden formers?

When soldering, I do not use wood. All parts are soldered from brass and on a brass frame.

[wefalck]

Yes, but how do you get the curves into the parts?

[KORTES]

A very clean job.

I make spherical parts from brass using a punzel and a lead plate.

[ERS Rich]

Thank you for showing how this work is done.  Inspirational!

That, of course, is another option. Thanks!

I know myself all too well that real life gets in our way with our model building activities. I sincerely hope that the long silence does not have any serious reasons !

this is very encouraging work for all who are using brass sheet metal for modeling, well done !

Yes, Wefalck,  there is such a reason. She is both serious and pleasant, but I will tell you about her a little later.

Thank you, Nils, for your feedback!
I also continue to follow your work on the cargo ship with interest.  

[Valeriy V]

My little progress in working on the destroyer model.

  Anchors and details of their fastening to the hull.

[Valeriy V]

Stopper for anchor chain.

[Valeriy V]

Crane beam for lifting and laying anchors.

[wefalck]

Glad to see that the show goes on! Keep strong!

[cotrecerf]

So good to hear from you after a looooong time. 😁

What a pleasure to see your progress, Valeriy.

After a long break I like many other fans of your work almost wept with joy that you are safe and well.

Take care, friend.

[Keith Black]

 Nice to see a post from you, Valeriy. Beautiful work as always but more importantly is knowing you're safe for the time being. 

[Roger Pellett]

Good to see that you're healthy and back at the workbench.

[Valeriy V]

The parts are installed on the model hull.

[Mirabell61]

Valeriy,

can you tell me what kind of propulsion engine the original boat had. Was it already an early turbine engine ?

thankyou
