The accuracy class of the parts to a large extent depends on the tools and equipment that you use. The main thing is that you have a desire to make your parts better. So everything will work out!

Thanks for your kind words! It’s impossible for me to order photo-etching now, so I had to do it manually.

Alexander, your brass work on the stove is just wonderful! -
Colleagues, thank you all for your likes and your interest in my work. The rescue device is installed on the model. Ahead of me is an interesting stage in the manufacture of artillery.

Dmitry, thank you for your review and kind words. I have repeatedly visited your wonderful city, my friends live there and I always have the most sincere memories of this. I already wrote earlier that the Varyag model in the museum of St. Petersburg was built by master fashion designers before the real ship was built. So it can't be very detailed. This is a demonstration model of the future cruiser. This model is executed impeccably in terms of its purpose.

No, these are not doors, there are no door hinges. These are hatch covers for ammunition supply elevators.

Thank you all for your feedback and likes. And I'll add a little more about anchors. This is a spare anchor.

Thanks Popeye! The situation so far allows you to work, but things can change quickly. Yes Phil, you are absolutely right, you have to fight with dust all the time.
-
Thanks Ras! There are actually not very many blueprints for the cruiser. But photographs help a lot and many details have to be done precisely from them.

Gary, I'm really very impressed with this new work of yours! For me, your work is an example of fine work. I put all your files in a separate folder, I will save it and I will study it with an example.

The strips of diagonal planking are cut from 0.8mm thick maple veneer. The gaps between the diagonal stripes are not of great importance, since the case is subsequently covered with fiberglass with resin.

Hi, Richard! I enjoy watching your process. And of course, like many colleagues, I am very impressed by the size of your work. If you are interested, I will add a little information about the construction of the hull of the model with diagonal skin.

Thank you all for your feedback and concern for me. Everything is fine with me, sometimes cruise missiles fly over the city, but they are not a hindrance to my work. Phil, no problem. If you come to Europe on business, you can also visit me and see the model.

In 2003, a diving expedition was carried out at the place where the cruiser ran aground. The remains of the hull were found at a depth of 8-10 meters. In 2006, a monument to this ship was unveiled on the shore. http://www.clydesideimages.co.uk/varyag-shipwreck-memorial.html

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.
