Fantastic work !

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you so much Stephan and Johann.. I thank everyone for the like..

Balcony railing glued..



During drying, I stuck a lion statue firmly..



..and began manufacturing the rudder..







Finished railing waxed, only a handrail..

 

[dockattner]

As always, this is impeccable work!

 

[Steef66]

Yes it looks very elegant. I did it on my Spanish Galleon but the proportions where not okay. Yours is perfect.

 

[Uwek]

Very fine and as usual very accurate work - I like the view on the balcony with rudder - very good work

 

[Heinrich]

The waxed railing fits seamlessly into the rest of the build - but I did not expect anything less.

 

[NMBROOK]

Super clean work as always Ondras,very nice indeed

Kind Regards

Nigel

Thank you all very much for the feedback, friends. I thank everyone for the like..

I want to finish the rudder before placing the model on the final stand.
After a longer time of soldering hinges ..







Ready for cleaning and blackening..





I found that cleaning with nitric acid must be done carefully, 0.2 mm sheet metal and tubes with a wall of 0.1 mm are terribly tricky, especially the tubes can be quickly etched by acid .. I had to replace one..

 

[DARIVS ARCHITECTVS]

Very neat and precise work. Wow!

 

[Uwek]

Great work on the hinches - also the drilling of holes for the tiny bolts - very accurate

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you very much Kurt and Uwek. I thank everyone for the like..

I created the posts of the stand ..











Temporary struts are left for further construction to prevent movement to the sides..



And finally, the handrail of the balcony railing ..





waxed ..

 

[dockattner]

Everywhere I look I only see perfection. Brilliant!

 

[DARIVS ARCHITECTVS]

OMG that galleon is great!

 

[Steef66]

I agree with the guys above

Thank you very much friends !! I thank everyone for the like..

So in the end, the rudder hinges, which I made from a weak material, were damaged by the acid so that they could not be used, they softened completely.. I made new 0.3 mm thick sheet metal and 1.3 / 0.2 tubes..









Extra work, but in the end the hinges are 100% better than the first..



Rudder hinges placed..

 

[Heinrich]

Oh yes - that looks very good Ondras. Things happen for a reason and now you have hinges that you are happy with - it was all worth it!

 

[Uwek]

Very good results - very good !!!!

Are the hinge pins soldered to their strapping? Or glued? Beautiful work by the way!

 

[Korsan]

Very attractive and precise work.
Congratulations and respect

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Yes, these stressed joints are soldered with silver paste. It is ideal to be black as well as stain-free brass.







Soldering is a fear at first, but when the system is touched so that the material doesn't burn, it just joins, it's very nice. I recommend, I solder only with cheap Kemper pencil solder and ok.
