С Днем Рождения, Коллега! 
While thinking on recalculation the model from current 1:75 to more natural 1:64, made a couple of attempts to produce the guns barrels.
Main caliber, 8", 35 caliber long Obukhov plant 1877 pattern.
The first from brass. Blackened with brassblack. Not satisfied with the result.
The second - steel, blackened in traditional way- hot barrel into machine oil.
As for me - much better. You feel that this is steel)))
The both are in 1:64
The original plans of all the artillery of the ship are now found in the Naval archive and the copies will be ordered soon))
