Gimo Posted March 28, 2015 Author #33 Posted March 28, 2015 Blackening. While waiting for "Brass-Black" delivery, I've decided to experiment with the pig-lard.

Gimo Posted March 28, 2015 Author #35 Posted March 28, 2015 Hi Mark, I may have used an incorrect phrasing. I've literally fried the guns.

mtaylor Posted March 28, 2015 #36 Posted March 28, 2015 Ok.. you literally used pig-lard then. Is the color permanent? I'm not sure my admiral would appreciate the smell of brass and pig-lard though.

yamsterman Posted March 29, 2015 #39 Posted March 29, 2015 Hi gimo Interesting use of what we in this part of england call pork dripping!!!! We usually eat the stuff on toast or on crusty bread with cold meats , especially with some of the jelly from the bottom! Not very healthy but tasty with a glass of English ale. Never thought of using it to blacken brass. Interesting!!!!! Cheers......mick
Gimo Posted April 3, 2015 Author #40 Posted April 3, 2015 Yesterday morning I finally received the Brass-Black. The time for experiments is over.

ziled68 Posted April 6, 2015 #41 Posted April 6, 2015 Bravo Gimo, I just now saw the procedure you used to blacken your ship's guns. Excellent work.

Gimo Posted April 16, 2015 Author #45 Posted April 16, 2015 End of log. The base was quickly done from a picture frame. The barrels and the anchor were taken from an old kit.

mtaylor Posted April 16, 2015 #46 Posted April 16, 2015 Congratulation, Gimo. I love that base as it complements the fine work on the cross-section.
