The 26 feet steam cutter as of 1876- slightly modified kit from Russian mfg Piriscaf. 1:24 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Koreets]

Finally completed the model.
Based on the kit, with some modifications - mainly changed the resin (plastic) parts with scratched from metal (brass and iron).
Enjoy!))

I love your model of the steamer - real great work.....
And now back to your Salamandre ......

 

[Koreets]

Decided to build an add-on for this guy))
Piroscaf issued several adds-on such as masting, oars, gun.
I think the 37 mm 5 barrels Hotchkis is a valuable piece to be added to this model and will make a real naval impression))).

So the method is the same- I take the plastic kit and change some parts for the metal.

Meanwhile the barrels are ready)

 

[Koreets]

Some progress, frame WIP

 

[Uwek]

I love your great metal works - I would love also to be able to do the same quality - dreams

 

[Koreets]

The gun itself is ready. Now starting the basement

 

[Uwek]

WOW - great work on the gun - outstanding metal works
So hope to see soon the mounted gun on the cutter

 

[Koreets]

The mounting is almost ready.
A few things to be completed)))
And some cartridges, too))

 

[Koreets]

Now the model is completely completed
The gun is mounted.
Will stop on this point)))

You just need two or three machines: to turn, to route and to drill. And some hand tools, such as files, pliers, etc

The shells are not visible enough, as far as they are inserted , so just for you to know...they are authentic)))
Brass+polished iron

...let's face it, before acquiring any of those machines, you have to acquire adequate skills using them
