Keith, almost all the fine detail on this model will not be covered with paint. Nickel plating or polished brass coated with varnish will be used. yvesvidal, druxey, Keith Black and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo shows a small number of nickel-plated parts. Hey Valeriy, super good look of the items. Especially the rudder being a quite massive part, looks very convincing. Could you achieve these results with your "hobby equipent" or did you use industrial facilities? If achievable by hobby equipment, would you be willing to share your production secrets of nickel plating with us and describe the process? I'm always keen on learning from masters. best greetings Joachim Keith Black, druxey, Ras Ambrioso and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always keen on learning from masters. best greetings Joachim Hello Joachim! Regarding nickel plating, I wrote everything I could in the topic on Varyag. Look there carefully. I can say briefly about this process that I learned it from videos from the Internet in Russian. I think that the same videos are available in English and German. In a search engine, write for example: “nickel plating or copper plating at home.” This is all quite easy to study and understand on your own. Unfortunately, my weak English will not allow me to tell you the same way as in these videos.
