  1. Phil, I'm glad that we understand each other! The photo shows a Cyclone-class destroyer after modernization.
  2. Ras, I always admire your tenacity! Small failures only strengthen your resolve. So I enjoy watching your progress.
  3. Yes, of course, but not in this case. In the photo, the midshipman is wearing a white jacket but not work clothes. Below I show a photo of what an officer should look like in a working uniform.
  4. Yes, judging by the shoulder straps, this is an officer of the most junior rank of midshipman. And most likely this young man is just fooling around and posing for the camera. The sailor in the background of the photo is doing real painting work.
  5. The most reliable source of information is photographs! These photographs show Cyclone-class destroyers.
  6. Phil, I saw this film as soon as it came out in theaters. Unfortunately, it is very far from the historical truth, both in terms of the film’s script and scenery. Only the names of the movie characters are true in it. The photo shows a barge that was decorated for filming.
  7. Nils, this destroyer had an ordinary steam engine. I told some details at the beginning of the previous page.
  8. My little progress in working on the destroyer model. Anchors and details of their fastening to the hull.
  9. Yes, Wefalck, there is such a reason. She is both serious and pleasant, but I will tell you about her a little later. Thank you, Nils, for your feedback! I also continue to follow your work on the cargo ship with interest.
  10. When soldering, I do not use wood. All parts are soldered from brass and on a brass frame.
  11. I welcome all members of the forum and continue my report on the construction of the destroyer. The bow wheelhouse of the ship.
  12. This year, divers discovered these three wrecks and brought many interesting details to the surface. Here is a link to a story about these dives under water. https://dzen.ru/a/ZHm0TXZUbFRN7DJO
  13. These three ships did not last long and in the winter of 1919, after being compressed by ice, they sank in the Bjerkezund Strait.
  14. During World War I, Cyclone-class destroyers served as minesweepers. After the 1917 revolution, three destroyers ended up in the possession of Finland and were included in the Navy in 1919 under the names C1, C2 and C3.
  15. Yes, this is a small space, parts are produced here, and their assembly takes place in the next room and it is a little larger. But even on this table, models with a length of up to two meters are quite successfully placed.
  16. I remember your request. Now you can take pictures as a destroyer has appeared for the entourage.
