Alex M Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share #165 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Hello all, many thanks for warm words and comments! not a big update,I have produced stanchions for the ladderway rails. The images are mostly self explanable, I hope They are turned on Unimat from 1,5mm brass road. Then finished with steel whool on Dremel Tool. The rings are from 0,3mm brass, the rails from 0,4mm. Finally installing around ladderway after blackening Continue to work at Q-Deck beams, and how she look now. Next step will be Capstan.

druxey Posted November 11, 2014 Share #169 Posted November 11, 2014 To turn those stanchions on a Unimat is very impressive! For anyone who's not tried this, you should know that it's an Olympic level piece of turning. The silver-soldered rings are also gold medal standard. Well done, Alex.

TBlack Posted November 11, 2014 Share #171 Posted November 11, 2014 Alex, You work well in both metal and wood. It's almost intimidating! I bought your plan in 1:64 - very complete - and suits me fully.. The only problem is that you set the bar pretty high and about the only thing we have in common is our Unimats. But I will soldier on, trying to follow your example. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
