Keith Black Posted December 28, 2022 Share #1116 Posted December 28, 2022 Valeriy, I consider myself fortunate to have been able to witness your creation from start to finish. Completed, your version of the cruiser Varyag enters that rarified atmosphere of "the best of the best". Hopefully your patron shares her as much as possible and may she forever be known as Valeriy's Varyag. Thank you for the journey. hollowneck, KORTES, bruce d and 6 others 8 1 Quote Current Builds: Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valeriy V Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share #1135 Posted December 30, 2022 Thanks friends! I'm very impressed with your feedback and wishes! Let's hope it all goes well. Any modeler, like an actor on stage and an artist in a gallery, needs grateful spectators. I am glad that my little performance and the picture that resulted from it gave pleasure to the audience on your forum. The model of the cruiser was made to order for a private collection, but I have no right to disclose the name of its owner, sorry. The purpose of my future work has not yet been determined, but it will certainly appear and I hope that I can show it here. I wish everyone a lot of interesting models and a pleasant pastime for their construction!

There are some good card-models around of ships from thus era (orel/oriel for indtsnce has a couple 1:200 scale, see http://Www.papermodeling.net ) Not for the fainthearted though: quite a number of very small bits and pieces to cut and glue.
