I am completely unfamiliar with this type of book and even more so I do not know how they are published and what is needed for this.

I agree Valeriy. Stick to what you know and like.

Hello everyone!

I am preparing to assemble the steam cargo winches. Taking into account the mooring winch, there should be 11 of them in total.

 

Assembled winch foundations.

Rope drums.

Details of the mechanism for the steam drive of the winch.

[Valeriy V]

Gears of three types.

No, no!  

Watchmakers do very precise work and I only imitate it.

Wonderful work as always, Valeriy!  Those gears are great, and the warping heads are jewelry.

Valera, will there be tanks (T-26) on deck? Made of metal? ))

Hi, Dart!
It should be explained to the rest of the forum participants that on its first voyage to Spain, the ss Blagoev carried light tanks (T-26) for the Republic on its deck.
Therefore, the customer of this model plans to install these tanks on the deck of the model in the future.

 

But it is unlikely that these tanks will be made of metal.

Yes but you are very good at imitation.

I continue to make details for the model of the steamship.

Parts for light cargo booms.

Boom parts with increased lifting capacity.

Excellent machine work Valeriy. Also impressive progress.

Truly beautiful "blacksmithing", Valeriy!
