  1. Everything is simple: - 10 free nights in front of the computer - 10 YouTube video tutorials - desire to learn
  2. It is very nice to know that you are interested in the history of the Russian Imperial Navy.
  3. 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.
  4. Thank you, Richmond. Continued ..... Laying on the hull with wooden slats.
  5. 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.
  6. 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. ☺️
