Oh my gosh, the scale of this model has just been revealed. Huge and beautiful! Great work, Yves, I love it. It dwarfs two models I know are very large. -
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. SWMBO carries a big stick.

You can watch it here for free if you subscribe to Amazon Prime. Be sure to turn on English subtitles because the whole movie is in Russian language. Watch T-34 | Prime Video (amazon.com)

On 1:700 scale ship models, I am beginning to doubt the value added by wood deck applications. Painted wood decks can be very convincing in this scale and it eliminates the fit issues with superstructures. The wood decks are cut so precise, just a tiny fraction of misalignment can cause the superstructure pieces not to fit.
-
Are the deck to superstructure fit issues due to the wooden deck application, or something else?

T-34's? WW2 vintage tanks. By the way, watch the movie T-34 if you get the chance. It's a modern made Russian movie with English sub titles. I really enjoyed watching it on Netflix.

Huge box that Missouri model comes in. Impressive kit to be sure.

That came out nice, Mike. You really have a knack for staying on task and getting it done. Years ago, I knew an avid aircraft modeler who built all variety of large scale model aircraft from vac-u-form kits. His work with vac-u-form plastic and scratch building was phenomenal.

It's been a while since last visiting. Wow, she is looking VERY nice indeed.
-
You are absolutely correct, it's an error of my own making as my plans clearly show the rudders just as you have stated. Thanks for the keen eye and pointing it out to me so I can correct it now before paint work is started.
-
Looking forward to this build.
-
Happy ending to a great pictorial story.
-
Beautiful!
-
You're the expert whose mantle this ship will rest upon. Ruffle onward, it's looking great to me. Like Bob, I am enjoying this journey too.
-
It must be a tricky proposition removing the glued on superstructure pieces from the decks after all these years. Nice work! Don't see this class of ship modeled too often.
-
Wow, I am intrigued with the teaser you posted! Looking forward.

An old Marine Corps adage: Adapt and Overcome. Now is not the time to throw in the towel and accept defeat. Rather, turn this into an opportunity to learn what you can do differently to achieve the results you want. Thoroughly research youtube videos to learn the pro techniques. Theye are there by the thousands. There has never been a more kind and gentle time in my 60+ years of modeling history to gather so much information as is available now for free. We once spent small fortunes on modelbuilding magazines to learn just fractions of what can now be learned for free. I dare say the very pages of this forum offer extraordinary details on "how to". Don't give up. Persevere. You can do it.

You really did that little orphan some justice, Mike. Great looking ship, exceptional colors.
-
Looks awesome, Mike. Great job my friend, wonderful detail work. Water came out fantastic, too.

If it's any consolation, a prop shaft should be one of the easiest things to replace from scratch. I feel certain you have the skills to remedy that problem if you want to take the time to do it.
