wyz Posted May 2, 2016 #181 Posted May 2, 2016 Hi marsalv, It's always good when you make a post. I look forward to seeing your cannons. Even though you're new to turning I have faith your guns will be as nice as everything else you've done. I can't envision you doing anything second rate...... that is unless you build one. ;-) Tom mtaylor, aviaamator and WackoWolf 3 Quote
Alex M Posted May 2, 2016 #182 Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Hello Marsalv, stunning work! Really nice, it will be one of best Pandora models I have seen.

marsalv Posted May 10, 2016 Author #184 Posted May 10, 2016 Wyzwyk, Alex and druxey - thanks for nice comments. I started the gun "production". In this moment is done the easier part, the more difficult is still ahead of me. Bluto 1790, wyz, rtropp and 9 others 12 Quote

marsalv Posted May 17, 2016 Author #189 Posted May 17, 2016 Thank you guys . I added pins and royal emblems on the barrels and they are now ready for blackening. albert, dvm27, zoly99sask and 17 others 20 Quote

marsalv Posted May 28, 2016 Author #191 Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Monogram is etched from brass 0,2 mm and glued with CA. The blackening of guns is done a I started preparation of parts for gun carriages. Edited May 28, 2016 by marsalv tadheus, allanyed, aviaamator and 17 others 20 Quote
allanyed Posted May 28, 2016 #192 Posted May 28, 2016 Marsala I hope you don't mind a bunch of questions so here goes. Did you etch away material around the monogram so the monogram itself is raised? Any details you can share on how you made these would be very much appreciated. Were there any problems with the CA holding tight during or since the blackening process? What blackening solution do you use? Sorry for all the questions, but your cannons are extremely fine and I for one would love to know more.

Guest Tim I. Posted May 28, 2016 #193 Posted May 28, 2016 Marsalv, Your build is a joy to follow. The cannons turned out great! - Tim Quote
marsalv Posted May 31, 2016 Author #194 Posted May 31, 2016 To Allan - the monogram is not my production, these are made by "etching" company (http://www.etchworks.cz/). Normally are parts etched simultaneously from both side, here is etching made only from one side. Before gluing is necessary to roughen both surfaces (eg. tweezers) then glue adheres well (I had to repair two pieces from 20). The solution for blackening - heated solution water and patina for Tiffany technique (ratio 50 : 1) (http://www.vensy.cz/vensy/eshop/12-1-Tiffany-technika-cinovani/31-2-Chemie-pro-cinovani/5/345-Patina-cerna-tiffany-technika) Carriages assembly.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted June 1, 2016 #196 Posted June 1, 2016 G'day Marsalv Your canons are splendid. Was each one done separately or you used a master to copy them. The reason why I asked is that they all seems so uniformed. Henry Ford will be so proud of your product line!

marsalv Posted June 2, 2016 Author #197 Posted June 2, 2016 Thank you guys. Because I have no duplicator, I had to turn each gun separately (many time and many destroyed material). Details of carriages added. Mirabell61, archjofo, NMBROOK and 16 others 19 Quote
Greg the peg leg sailor Posted June 2, 2016 #198 Posted June 2, 2016 G'day Marsalv Having no duplicators even makes the work you done even more incredible.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted June 5, 2016 #200 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) G'day Marsalv I know that the canons carriage should be red, but it's a real shame that you have to cover the wonderful raw wood with paint. havagooday my friend Greg Edited June 5, 2016 by Greg the peg leg sailor Quote "Nothing is impossible, it's only what limitations that you put on yourself make it seems impossible!

wyz Posted June 5, 2016 #202 Posted June 5, 2016 That gun carriage looks great, and so do your cannons. You continue to work to a high standard. It's fun to follow your progress. Thank you Marsalv. mtaylor 1 Quote
Bill Morrison Posted June 5, 2016 #203 Posted June 5, 2016 Greetings! I am new to this forum and have thoroughly enjoyed reading through this thread! I have the old HMS Pandora kit by Constructo, and immediately found problems with the kit. Your building log has given me a few ideas for making corrections, particularly in the shape of the bow. Thank you! Your model looks outstanding! wyzwyk, where in CT do you live? I live just a few miles north of New London. Bill mtaylor and WackoWolf 2 Quote
RedDawg Posted June 5, 2016 #204 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Marsalv, how do you get that nice brown color on your cannon hardware? Mike Also I see you have what looks like nuts and bolts being used. Did you make them or is their somewhere I could look for them? Edited June 5, 2016 by RedDawg mtaylor 1 Quote
dvm27 Posted June 6, 2016 #205 Posted June 6, 2016 The nuts and bolts, etc., may be purchased from Scale Hardware http://www.scalehardware.com/.

marsalv Posted June 14, 2016 Author #206 Posted June 14, 2016 Thanks to all for very nice comments. To RedDawg - blackening solution is desribed in post #206, with regard to nuts and bolts I used the following parts that simulate bolts and nuts: http://www.litomysky.cz/kadee/kad088.htm.
