In the countries of the former Soviet Union, the Varyag cruiser is, for obvious reasons, very popular. His fate has been studied by historical researchers very thoroughly. Several very detailed books have been written. Briefly from these sources: - April-December 1917 the ship's crew was disbanded, the flag was lowered, the cruiser was taken under British guard - 1918-1920 sludge ship at a dead anchor on the river Clyde - 1920 sale of the ship for the debts of the tsarist government, towing and grounding in the Firth of Clyde - 1924-26 ship dismantling at the accident site There is no information about the inclusion of the cruiser in the Royal Navy. And if this happened, it would be impossible to sell it for other people's debts. -
Michael, your opinion of the great Master about my work means a lot to me. Thank you very much for your kind words.

You have a small mistake. The life cycle of the Varyag is as follows: Imperial Russian Navy - Imperial Japanese Navy - Imperial Russian Navy. In 1920, the cruiser was sold to a German company for cutting into metal and, while being towed from the Clyde, sank near the city of Girvan. The remains of the cruiser lie there at the bottom and now. No, I have not built Asama's model yet, but if someone wants to order such a model, I can build it. This model, made by Armstrong's modellers, is kept in the Maritime Museum of Istanbul.

I wrote about it on the first page of the topic. Your reasoning is completely correct for the NAVIGA rules. But I work in a completely different model concept. We usually call it "museum style", but you can call the style "shipyard building model". For an example of this style, I show a photo of the armored cruiser Asama, which was the main enemy of the Varyag in his last battle.

It depends on the person. For example, for me, building a model is an opportunity to escape from the ongoing horror. And for some, this is an opportunity to find another reason for conflict.

Shipman! I misunderstood you, so I must apologize but not you. The model is not finished yet and only my close friends modelers can see it. Please accept my sincere thanks.

During the Russo-Japanese War, there was still no modern division along the national lines of the former Soviet republics. But it is better to talk about politics in other forums. We're here to build ship models.

Lou, I haven't gotten there yet. My growth process is not yet complete. I still have a lot to learn and significantly improve what I already know
-
Thank you! But I did not quite understand the question about filling details, I'm sorry.
-
This will be a simple imitation without details, since they are practically invisible behind the glass.

I posted a photo of this model on the first page of my topic. Crump's ship modellers were faced with the task of showing the appearance of the ship without delving into small details. They did an excellent job with this task. And I will be very happy if my model will look just as beautiful after the same 120 years.

In the photographs of the Varyag, such blinds are not visible. Probably during the Russo-Japanese War they were not yet used on searchlights.

All that remains for me is to insert a mirror reflector into the rear cover of the spotlight.
-
As a result of the operation of the machine, a large number of mirror blanks were obtained.
