Options for completing weapons and the principle of installation on the boat.
Test
Dima, absolutely love the additions: both the tools and Artillery! I am sure, it will complement the already high standard model. Count on me for sure!
ME TOO DIMITRY. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
Looking forward to getting the additions to the kit. I gather EMS can now ship to Australia.
Thank you all for your interest in our work. Australia is currently open. We are waiting for the figures of sailors in the next few days.
I have not seen double planking before with the first layer diagonally to smooth out the curves for the second finish longitudinal planks. Maybe this is standard but I am learning every time that I cruise SoS. Best of luck with the steamer. Rich (PT-2)
The combination of diagonal and longitudinal planks is very common on steam boats of British design. Very strong hull.

Hi, everybody
We show the principle of laying a diagonal covering in the training material. We apologize that the material is only in Russian. We haven't resolved the issue with the translation specialist yet. If someone can take part in translating and editing our texts, we would be very grateful. Unfortunately, we did not learn foreign languages well at school.
Very good video and service.
One question - is it ironing to dry the wood-glue?
One question - is it ironing to dry the wood-glue?
Yes. And dry faster and lay by steaming the planks in difficult places.
HI DIMTRY AND UWE, THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE PROCESS HEINRICH USED ON THE LEUDO WITCH I TOO HAVE USED IT WORKS EXTREMLY WELL VEY WELL IN FACT. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT I WET THE PLANKS USING COLD WATER FROM THE TAP THEN THE SOLDERING IRON AND GOT NO BURN MARKS AT ALL, IT SEEMS FOR SOME REASON THE WATER SETS UP THE GLUE QUICKLY AND ALSO SERVES AS TO KEEP THE BURN MARKES OUT. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
This is due to the high temperature. The applicator does not give this effect. Only a longer process. But we've been doing this for 10 years.

Were the gun parts in the kit, I don't remember them? Or is this a new option to buy?
Dmitry is keeping us posted and updated on the following:
1) The figures
2) The Gotchkis 37 mm machine gun
3) Tools for the steam boat
4) The extended set
He is very good about keeping us updated-
иметь терпение- I hope is Russian for "have patience"!

Thanks, as I have already received my boat kit, I will stay aware of these upgrades when we are ready to order them.
