    Yves, I will not paint them, on top they will be covered with nickel and inside they will remain copper.

    Frames can be glued without the use of aluminum corners. To do this, I use wood glue Titebond, it dries quickly and after 5 minutes you can glue the next part.

    The model is equipped with a bridge.

    The thickness of the fiberglass is within 0.1-0.12 mm, the cell is approximately 0.6-0.8 mm.

    Ras, The most reliable and time-tested way to protect a wooden surface is to cover it with fiberglass and epoxy resin. In this case, you need to put at least two layers. When applying epoxy resin, you need to warm it up a little with an electric hairdryer, the resin will easily spread and soak the fiberglass well. All other methods do not guarantee moisture protection of the tree. Cracks in the paint and other troubles may appear.

    The Downton pump looks like a Ston pump.

    This is a drawing of Ston's pump.

    Ras, I'm glad to see your interesting topic! Your plan most likely shows Ston's pump.

    Thank you all for your appreciation of my work! I will try to match them.

    Installation of parts on the bottom of the funnel fiue.

    I greet all members of the forum and continue building the model. Installation of parts on the top of the funnel fiue.

    Interesting model! A little surprised by the thickness of the plywood on the deck. It seems to me that this makes the hull of the model unnecessarily heavier.

    This photo shows pure parts made of cupronickel, bronze and brass.
  14. Valeriy V
    Thank you all for your feedback and likes. And I continue my reportage.
  15. Valeriy V
    Your match is great! I really want to become the owner of such a match.

    Hey! Are you planning to build a model of "Varyag" on a scale of 1: 100 from paper?
  17. Valeriy V
    The doors are welded from two parts. The inner part is photo-etched.
  18. Valeriy V
    Ammunition feed elevators.

    Thanks Michael! I am pleased to watch your masterpieces made of wood. And your workshop with excellent equipment amazes me!
  20. Valeriy V
    The length of the model is 1728 mm, it is not a very large model. This size is convenient to work with in my small workshop. Thank you Popeye , I try very hard .

    I have no paint numbers. I mix paints myself and select the shade I need. You don't have to worry about the metal under the paint, as there will still be a lot of details without paint.
  22. Valeriy V
    I continue painting the parts.
  23. Valeriy V
    Keith i think looking at your detailed photo reports on the production of detailing, that my blog only slightly adds information to the general picture of building models.
  24. Valeriy V
    I completely agree with you, these ships are very beautiful. The last of them "Admiral Lobov" (the future "Ukraine") was in front of my eyes all 6 years that I spent in Nikolaev during my studies.
  25. Valeriy V
    Thanks Phil! I got acquainted with your wonderful work a little earlier, when my friend Vladimir began to build his model according to your wonderful drawings. In the Soviet Navy there were two missile cruisers with the same name, project 58 and project 1164. Which one are you interested in?

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.
