Well, not much happening around the Kattner Shipyard. I took a little break after finishing up the work on the decks - and then my wife and I were out in California wine country most of last week.

Some small progress on the gun port hinges:

I'm kind of digging the handmade feel of the metalwork (though it's only visible under macro...).

Very impressive work.
It's way past any level I could achieve.

Bravissimo! Looks like wrought iron to me.

A perfect example of how thoroughly convincing small parts can look when every aspect is the right scale, texture and finish.

As always... !!!

Nice metalwork, those hinges looks really 'old fashion', Paul.

Dear Paul,

Hi Paolo, the difference lies in the small details when it comes to the quality of the models, and also in understanding exactly what those details are for. Frank

Macro or not those truly look to have been made in a blacksmith’s forge!

Thank you, Oliver. A fortuitous outcome to some experimentation.

 

[dockattner]

They looks extraordinary!!!

Daniel

Thanks, Daniel!

Those look wonderful ! Great job !

Thanks for stopping by, Jeff. I appreciate the encouragement!

Dear Paul,

You are always very kind, Shota. My thanks!

 

[dockattner]

That metal work looks incredible! Like others have said, they look like full size forged hinges.

I dread the learning curve ahead and hope I can fabricate hinges and other metal-work, half as precise as you manage!

Glad you two had some quality down time in beautiful CA wine country!

Thanks, Brad. I have no doubts that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. While I normally work to make finishes perfect - all I did was try less hard and some magic happened. A lucky accident of sorts.

Thanks, Mirek. I actually have a friend who does watch repair - I am jealous of his tool collection!

You could do it, Richie. Once you figure out how to silver solder everything falls into place.

Indeed. Like yourself I tend to be a stickler for scale. I don't always get it right but I like the challenge. At 1:48 it is mostly possible - your preferred 1:96 is another level up.

Thank you, Peter. Sometimes it works out...

Hey Doc, Can we get a little write-up on how you made them? I would love to know.

Hi Jeff,
Paul did a little write up starting on post #1418 that detailed his process . Quite enlightening. I’ll have to try his method…

Thanks for that. I don't know how I missed it. I'll go back and check it out !
