While my interests lie in the 18th Century it is an absolute joy to see your wonderful metalwork Valeriy.

Very nice work Valeriy,

 

how did you do the railings? are they made from brass wire ? and did you drill thin holes into the deck to press in........, perhaps with a thin glue moisturing?

[Valeriy V]

Thank you, Nils!
The railings are soldered from brass wire with a diameter of 0.4 mm and coated with nickel. Holes with a diameter of 0.6 mm are drilled in the deck. Then the guard railings are put in place with cyanoacrylate glue.

[Mirabell61]

Many thanks Valeriy,

for your answer...., you did a great job there !

I greet everyone and thank you for your congratulations, likes and comments.

I am pleased that my small model arouses interest among grateful viewers of my process.   

 

I move on to the stage of assembling small parts on the cargo device of the steamer.

[Valeriy V]

The photo shows the cargo device on the foremast.

[Valeriy V]

And now the mainmast cargo gear is assembled.

[Valeriy V]

After that, it was time to make the propeller.

The photo shows the process of assembling the parts on a soldering stand.

 

 

[Valeriy V]

This is a photo of the propeller after the silver soldering process is complete.

I then soaked the propeller in a citric acid solution for 30-45 minutes.
