La Venus - French frigate from 1782 - scale 1:96 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Giampy65]

Il tuo modo e il risultato finale è davvero eccezionale - Grande aspetto della laterna ....

Posso chiedere, cos'è questo per un materiale? - sembra una gomma da masticare, ma sono sicuro che non lo è ....
Serve a tenere insieme temporaneamente gli elementi?

Come ha spiegato Poul, è una pasta che serve per assorbire il calore e proteggere le saldature già realizzate, che altrimenti si sfalderebbero.

As Poul explained, it is a paste that serves to absorb heat and protect welds already made, which would otherwise flake.

the stern light. It is not exactly very precise, I did not realize that during the welding the two planes have probably moved, but it is already a lot to be able to do it!

Looking very good - nice detail

On Hermione it used very often - photos from my visit in Rochefort two years ago

Hermione - a 32-gun Concorde-class frigate fitted for 12-pounder guns - dockyards of Rochefort, France

During the visit of the modelers event in Rochefort I had the chance to visit also the frigate Hermione in the docks of Rochefort. In the first post you can find a short description, following the photos I made during my visit....if questions, please do not hesitate to ask photo by Uwe From...
