Well, luckily I haven't worked much on this ship lately, so I'll restart the buildlog as if I just began construction of this intrigate model.
About the ship :
She started out as a single-hull tanker under the name "Ché Guevara", however due to changing international laws (as a direct result from oil disasters with this kind of ships) she was refit to be a mobile refinary.
The kit :
The kit, or rather the booklet is from the Polish publisher "JSC" and there are lasercut parts available (which I also bought).
The cover (of "boxart" if you like)
The real ship (mind you, the kit is a waterline model) :
The first few steps, what you see here is the underside of the deck :
The topside of the same part along with the final deck layer that will fit on it :
Starting on the aft superstructure :
On to the bow area :
The next level :
Skin applied to the hull :
Some more parts to the aft structure :
And where I am now :
Those ships, along with the xebecs really were the most elegant things on the sea in my opinion. However, as fascinated as I've always been by this particular kit, I will not try it, because I'm sure I lack the skill for it.
