RGL got a reaction from popeye the sailor in VARYAG by RGL -FINISHED - Artwox - 1/350 - Plastic, resin and photoetch - Protected Cruiser
Next are the torpedo booms. There is no bracket on the booms to hold them to the ship which exist on the real thing. I used parts of the oars from the Eduard Fret to add them. there were not rigged in most photos that I saw so I didn't even try, whilst I could have it just would have looked messy. I think Artwox could have done these in brass as other era ships have of these details, and that allows them to be swung out.
I took the old girl into the sunlight which shows her up nicely.
anchors, chains, props and prop guards to go, as well as the replacement 47mm. Then the lifeboats.

Bit more to the layer cake, the awning stanchions and the boat booms. I know it kinda looks messy, but to the naked eye it's not that bad.
Next will be the torpedo net booms.

Onto the ships boats; 12 in all, nothing overly complicated. What is complicated is how I'm supposed to secure them to the davits properly as they seemingly are just plonked down. The Eduard fret has a semblance of braces but not the Artowx fret. Mind you, the boats are very nice. I drilled out the windows on the large cruiser and put brass rims on them to actually represent windows and not just a resin divot.

Next are the torpedo booms. There is no bracket on the booms to hold them to the ship which exist on the real thing. I used parts of the oars from the Eduard Fret to add them. there were not rigged in most photos that I saw so I didn't even try, whilst I could have it just would have looked messy. I think Artwox could have done these in brass as other era ships have of these details, and that allows them to be swung out.

Couple of things I missed on mine Dave, a brace behind the belfry and cleats on the side of the belfry. If you do the rigging according to the AOTS you will need them. First class effort on the carving tho, beyond my ability.

the searchlights, a couple of nice pieces of resin and photo etched cradle, and two tiny flywheels on the base. There are six in total. I also included some to scale 37mm rapid fires at the stern (next post)
