I just hope Herr Dok has a big enough table to play aeronef with it  |

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

I think this is excellent, Herr Doktor.
Perhaps now some Cutters or Sloops to act as escorts?

I somehow missed the final rollout of Leviathan, permit me to add a late remark and a nice well deserved bump. Absolutely fabulous!!
May I ask, what is your process for etching the plates?

As usual, very nice work! As it's a shipyard model I expect you won't be doing any weathering on it?
Regards and a lot of respect for your work,
Wire!

BACK FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE! Thanks for the appreciation- MAALEV- you're praise is praise indeed!  Will: Blimey, where to start- the key is the printer- a good quality laser printer that uses carbon powder is the key- that and a way of transferring the 'ink' to the brass: you have to clean it to the Nth degree- I use Scotchbrite to rub off the patina/oxidisation, then rub some more, before cleaning with an awful lot of lighter fluid, two or three times, then I put the brass and the printed image through a hot laminator (£10 from Wilkinsons, the sort with two rollers and a heating element) to get the carbon to stick to the brass, then finish it off with an iron set at it's highest setting. After that, it's a soak in warm water and you can rub the paper off with your fingers, then into the saltwater with the electrodes attached. Does that make sense? |

Yes, I've used the Pulsar Toner Transfer Paper, it takes laser printing and then you iron it on. That's very similar to what you're doing, though I use Radio Shack etching solution instead of electrodes. |
