Alex M Posted June 17, 2015 Author #248 Posted June 17, 2015 Hello, and many thanks for your warm words! Greg, the doors are glued with industry CA glue from Würth, and hinges are faux. They are simple brass strips and rolled brass rods glued on. Druxey, yesterday I have turned pulleys, here the driven one: now I have to make a bracket, chain and chimney, and it is barbecue time (if you are not afraid of the smell of heated glue) : Alex egen, dgbot, BANYAN and 28 others 30 1 Quote Current build: HMS Sphynx, 20 gun ship launched in 1775 at Portsmouth, Hampshire.

Alex M Posted June 30, 2015 Author #269 Posted June 30, 2015 Thank Druxey! Tom, thank you too. The proces takes some time but is not as spectacular as I may detailed explain it. Ordinary cleaning with spiritus and blackening with brass black. I have also used exacto knife, fine sand paper and steel wool on some places to remove glue.
