RGL Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share #154 Posted November 25, 2015 Getting there, the anchors are attached, I just needed some micro chain to secure them, there is no reference to it in the instructions. All the guns are now attached as are the flagstaffs and one set of stairs. I just have to attach the lifeboats and fabricate some braces for them, and I am awaiting some photo etch rope coils from the Ukraine. I added the shafts and screws, and propeller guards which are by no way known referenced in the kit!

RGL Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share #160 Posted November 26, 2015 OK, third last post for this build: I affixed the ships boats, I got to the stage where I had to draw a line, the kit does not include cradles (which it really should) and fabricating them at this scale is quite hard and I think I'd probably just make a mess of it. I have made a temporary base where I'll park the old girl for a while, I only have to add the rope coils when they arrive. It's a really nice and very different kit, the Artwox resin is nice, but it is missing many deck fittings and I think the creators went of the Kagareo book a little too much for accuracy when the plans are available. I would like to see some of the resin made available commercially, such as the ships boats and the fairleads. No sea steps, just the original Zvesda bumps on the hull, no mast ladders, no stand for the model at all. The guns have all been replaced, the kit ones are just too inaccurate. The masts are wrong, the instructions are atrocious, some of thr alignments are not explained and you don't find out till way too late, and some oif the details left on teh fret I'm still scratching my head over. Whilst I'm a mutt at the photo etch thing, the frets are too thin. I think it they were as thick as the Eduard ones it would be a step ahead,as the detail is very nice.

RGL Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share #170 Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Last post on this build. I finally received the rope coils from North Start Models in the Ukraine. I only used them for the braces on the davits, but they are a nice bit of kit for that final bit of icing on the cake.
