    Grinding, spackling and hull preparation for bonding fiberglass.

    USS Oklahoma CIty and БПК Смелый could well meet in the Mediterranean in 1977-79.

    The construction of the model is not yet complete.

    If you see inaccuracies, report it, taking into account that this is a scale of 1: 200.

    Phil, thanks for your feedback. Your opinion as a specialist is very valuable! Vladimir has a question for you, I will write you on your web page. The construction took about 2 years. Some more detailed photos of the model.

    I enjoyed watching your process. Shocked by your skill !! Hope to see next masterpieces.

    Hi Phil. My friend Vladimir Skirdonov (Zaporizhia, Ukraine) builds a model of USS Oklahoma CIty , scale 1: 200. For this, he also uses your drawings. Vladimir is grateful to you for your work, you really helped him. The model is not completed yet.

    Grinding preparation.

    Filling the fore.

    The two halves of the ship come together.

    Yes, I am familiar with this company and its owner, Mikhail Orel. He has a complex and high-quality paper models.

    I am glad to welcome you, colleague. The Americans built 2 ships for Russia, the cruiser Varyag and the ironclad Retvizan. Both ships are very beautiful.
  13. Valeriy V
    Yes, there is a reason. This method avoids the appearance of torsional deformations. This refers to long hulls. In addition, it is so convenient to put the frames correctly. Thanks for the support.

    Thank you, Jan. Continue ...

    Everything is simple: - 10 free nights in front of the computer - 10 YouTube video tutorials - desire to learn

    It is very nice to know that you are interested in the history of the Russian Imperial Navy.
  17. Valeriy V
    Yes this. But everything is relative. For example, for the battleship USS Mine there are 553 plans. And they are freely available. https://catalog.archives.gov/search?q=*:*&f.parentNaId=53484484&f.level=item&sort=naIdSort asc For Varyag only 30 plans, and they are not available freely. Frames cut on a laser machine.

    Thank you, Richmond. Continued ..... Laying on the hull with wooden slats.

    Hi, Lou. This ship and its crew are heroes of the Russian-Japanese war. Every person in Russia knows about them. However, the number of reliable drawings is very small. Quality photos are also very small, because the ship was not long in the Russian fleet. According to archival drawings and old photos, I make my plan.
  20. Valeriy V
    Installation of frames.
  21. Valeriy V
    First step. Preparation of parts.
  22. Valeriy V
    The model will be completely built of wood and metal. Plastic parts are not applicable. Fiberglass is used only to insert the wooden case of the model. The model will be built in the style of the museum. This photo shows an analogue of this style. This 1:48 scale model is kept in St. Petersburg, in the Central Naval Museum. There are very few metal ships on the forum. I will try to add a little. ☺️

    Greetings to all the modelers on this wonderful forum! I want to talk about creating my model. Model of the cruiser "Varyag" on a scale of 1:75.
