Very impressive miniature forging work, Giampiero! I've also had good results by flattening bent copper wire for the 'U' part of the hinge.

Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series  http://trafalgar.tv

Now why didn't I think of that?

 

Giampiero very nice work not only on the hinge but the rest of the model look wonderful too.

Hi Giampiero

I have been lurking and watching your build, and I am

constantly in awe of the quality of your work. Brilliant stuff.

 

Thanks for showing how you made those tiny hinges

that will be very useful later on for me.

(If I can actually do them, I should say)

Cheers Chris

Hi Giampiero,

 

your model is a delight to see, I also love the way you incorporated the unplanked deck halves into the overall impression !

Absolutely breathtaking craftsmanship par excel-lance

 

Kudos the one of best I have seen on this site

 

Specifically  your small detail work, cannot believe the working hinges on a scale of 1-10 I would rate your ship at a 12

 

Kudos 12 times over  ;)

Hi Giampiero

I'm looking at the cannon you are not happy with being your first try and thinking I would happily pay whatever the asking price was as it stands – Is there anything you can't do? :-)   I've enjoyed following your build and I'm looking forward to the rest of the journey - its like getting free tickets to watch a Donatello being created - cheers Pete
