Imperial yacht Uvalen by Falconet in 1:48 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Walterone]

The glazing is ready. I'm not really happy with it, but the job is done.



Next in turn is the protective metal grating. The Deluxe version of the kit contains it by default, otherwise you can buy it as an option. The simple version contains a resin grating.



The first step - a special template for assembling and the central part. Now I'm plucking up the courage for a lot of pinpoint soldering.

Your glazing looks great to me, WalterOne.

I wish I had the brass skylight grate, but the cost of shipping is just too much.

Thank you. Well, on the other hand the resin grate is a much easier way.

Good evening Valterone, try to make it with metal profiles, it will be a show

 

[Walterone]

Next step - the frames. Not easy, but not impossible. The square ones consist of two pieces and are more difficult to assemble.

 

[Walterone]

The first two parts. I'm not so happy with them, but it seems to be my best The second photo for better understanding of their size.

 

[Jimsky]

Wow! you have oversized fingers!

 

[Kurt Konrath]

What did you use for the glazing on the skylight?

I have seen those who use microscope slide glass lids, which are very thin for this task in other hobbies.

 

[Walterone]

What did you use for the glazing on the skylight?

The kit contains laser-cut transparent plastic for all the "glass" details.

 

[Walterone]

Wow! you have oversized fingers!

By courtesy of King Kong I used his big toe

[Uwek]

[Walterone]

Thank you friends!

[donfarr]

I PRAY TO MY LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUES CHRIST THAT IT ENDS, A WAR AGAINST BWOMEN, CHILDREN, THE EDERLY, THE SICK IS TOTALYY UNGODLY ON THE NAME OFN JESUES THE THINGS GOING ON ARE REAL NOT PROPOGANDA ON HIS NAME I AM NOT LYING. PLEASE LORD SAVE THE INNOCENT IN YOUR NAME JESUES DON

 

[Namabiiru]

That looks great, Walterone! I use a ceramic sharpening stone to remove burrs from photo-etch. You might find that helpful for smoothing down the ends of the brass rods flush with the frame.

 

[Walterone]

Well, the grate is ready. I'm not very happy with it, but I'm so happy that it's finished Maybe some day I'll make another one. It's been not an easy job, for an unexperienced modeller it can be a real challenge. But the resin grate is a good alternative, I think.

 

[Namabiiru]

Your grate looks...dare I say it?...great, and the resin grate can't match the look of shiny brass and wood for class.
