Where have you been before? Did you pour it out for yourself? Not for sale? It's too late now. I am working on creating 3-d models of cannon barrels.

I started gluing the copper plating. Pre-cleaned the case again. Coated with copper-colored paint for better adhesion of the plates. The copper ribbon comes from China. I took the size 18 by 6 mm. I have to order more, I'm afraid there won't be enough.I would like to wish all modelers and forum participants a Merry Christmas. I wish you happiness, health, and fulfilled wishes. And most importantly, world peace. You have to enjoy life for your own pleasure. It is given once and it is such a short infection. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It' been and continues to bea treat to follow your "Oleg" build from the start. She's truly beautiful at this stage. Very finished if not yet done.

Hurray! I did it! I finished gluing the underwater part with copper. It remains to cover the steering wheel with copper. And that's the end of the copper. The last plates still shine strongly. Let's wait until the copper oxidizes naturally and cover all the colorless acrylic with varnish.

Be aware that hands and fingers will leave prints on your copper. Handle with care. The oily acids in your skin will discolor and etch finger and handprints deeply into and discoloring the bare copper.

Я в курсе о существовании этой книги. Издана ещё в 2022 году.

Your build continues to be a treat to follow!
regarding the copper plating. you may have to wait a while for the copper to oxidise and "green up" i used the same tape on a build of the constellation and the tape is still as shiny as the day i installed it 3 years ago. i believe this tape is designed for electronics use and has a protective film on it to prevent oxidation. the chinese just used that tape and embossed rivets on it. hope i am wrong.

Yes, I'm already starting to understand that. It has been more than a week, the color of copper from different supplies does not want to align.
