Only 1/400, I did consider her, but finally decided it’s out of scale. If there was a decent upgrade set for the pre dreadnoughts I’d be all over it.

now a bit of chipping, weathering next. The decal went on and would not for the life of me allow me to re adjust it, as such it got a bit roughed up.

I've decided on the Borodino because unlike the french ships, there are a lot of upgrades for it. These kits are pretty clunky without them. Mind you, the Zvezda kit is very cheap but I've ordered some upgrades from Russia as you can't get them anywhere else in the world, I'll get the GMM PE and a wooden deck, new barrels. It closes off my 3 Russian ships that way. By the time it all arrives I will have finished the little torpedo boat and the next in the cue....

So, whilst I’m doing a distraction piece, What would you like to see, a big Sov battlecruiser like Kirov, their plagued aircraft carrier, a old French pre Dreadnought, but I can’t do German, USA or IJN, but something big and iconic

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
