Thank you! While I have the opportunity, I try to distract myself with work. I wanted to build a model within 1 meter. The length of the ship was 45m, so the scale is 1:45. It took about 10 days to make the case shown in the photo. -
There is not a single straight line on this ship's hull, except for the diametrical plane.

I used maple veneer with a thickness of 0.8 mm for the diagonal skin.

Work on the body of the model has begun ...

Thanks everyone! I hope that my work will justify and not disappoint your interest in it. From the point of view of ship modeling, this project is interesting in that the small length of the hull allows the use of a large scale. At the same time, the saturation of weapons and ship accessories contains a large number of small details, which, in combination with a large scale, can give an excellent result.

Very few photographs of these ships have survived to this day. But instead of them, all the drawings necessary for the construction of the model were preserved in the Archives of St. Petersburg. Based on them, I draw my assembly drawing.

In total, 10 ships of this type were built at two Russian shipyards. The ancestor of this series was the French destroyer "Cyclone" designed and built by the company "Augustin Norman". In 1899, Russia purchased from O. Norman a complete set of drawings necessary for the construction of ships. However, before construction began, the following changes were made to the project: - reinforced steel case set - increased hull width by 0.16m to improve stability - one double-tube torpedo tube was installed instead of two single-tube ones - changed layout of living quarters. The following photo shows the French destroyer Cyclone.

Displacement: 152.4 tons Length: 45 m Width: 4.9 m Draft aft: 2.5 m Armament: 2 - 47 mm (1.9 in) guns 1× 2 torpedo tubes 356 mm

Ras, congratulations on the completion of construction! I will be happy to observe how your skill improves with each subsequent work.

Sasha, I did not quite understand what detail we are talking about. About the one that I indicated with an arrow?
-
Sasha, your process is wonderful!

Thanks friends! I'm very impressed with your feedback and wishes! Let's hope it all goes well. Any modeler, like an actor on stage and an artist in a gallery, needs grateful spectators. I am glad that my little performance and the picture that resulted from it gave pleasure to the audience on your forum. The model of the cruiser was made to order for a private collection, but I have no right to disclose the name of its owner, sorry. The purpose of my future work has not yet been determined, but it will certainly appear and I hope that I can show it here. I wish everyone a lot of interesting models and a pleasant pastime for their construction!

I congratulate everyone on New Year's holidays. I wish you good models and a peaceful sky over your head!
