Rick310 Posted March 29 #39 Posted March 29 Such amazing work!! How did you cut out the brass frames? Rick Valeriy V and Keith Black 2
Valeriy V Posted March 30 Author #40 Posted March 30 12 hours ago, Rick310 said: How did you cut out the brass frames? I did the marking and cutting of the brass plates manually. There is nothing complicated in this process. The main thing here is the correct determination of the coordinates of the location of the holes for the propeller shafts according to the drawing.

Rick310 Posted March 30 #41 Posted March 30 Thanks Valerie! Really impressive!! Rick Keith Black and Valeriy V 2
Valeriy V Posted yesterday at 02:12 PM Author #42 Posted yesterday at 02:12 PM The four propellers are soldered together using a silver-based solder. These photos show the propellers after soldering and cleaning them from carbon deposits using a citric acid solution. Javelin, GrandpaPhil, Paul Le Wol and 9 others 10 2
Valeriy V Posted yesterday at 02:12 PM Author #43 Posted yesterday at 02:12 PM After this I do a preliminary polishing of the screws. Nearshore, KORTES, Javelin and 11 others 11 3
Valeriy V Posted yesterday at 02:14 PM Author #44 Posted yesterday at 02:14 PM The entire propeller-rudder system is pre-installed on the cruisers hull. The blades will be twisted and the propellers will be fully polished later, before final installation. KORTES, NavyShooter, ccoyle and 17 others 20

Dr PR Posted 20 hours ago #46 Posted 20 hours ago Valeriy, You are a brave (but very experienced) man to twist the blades after they have been soldered to the hub! But I have seen your posts in other builds so I have no doubt they will turn out excellent!

Jim Lad Posted 19 hours ago #47 Posted 19 hours ago That's an unusual configuration - having both right and left handed propellers on the same side of the ship. John yvesvidal and Keith Black 2

John In this photo the screws are installed randomly and therefore there is an error. When the model is finally assembled all the screws will be installed correctly. Keith Black 1

Phil, when soldering is done with silver solder, there is no need to worry about the structure being destroyed. This soldering can withstand the heaviest loads. yvesvidal, Keith Black, Dr PR and 1 other 4
