Every time we get to see some kind of miniature perfectly executed masterpiece, it becomes clear that it is not alone and that everything you create for this ship is perfection. I personally am enjoying my front row seat on this journey. My only other choice would be to visit one of the museums in Zaporizhia someday when you finish it!

PS: Did Vladimir finish his CLG-5 model? Phil, great idea! I'll try to apply it on my next model. Vladimir has almost finished the CLG-5 model, it remains to make boats. You know that it happens that sometimes the modelers are distracted by other work.

Yes, this is a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air. It is this specimen that has a special history.

I thought it may have been something like that. I would have thought that getting and maintaining a US manufactured auto in the 50s was not something available to the average Russian citizen. But then getting a Russian auto here in the US would probably have posed the same issues back then. Now days we seem to be able to buy anything we want from ships to tanks to aircraft!

I think that this is a device for winding a wet cable so that it does not slip, or maybe for a temporary stopping of the cable until it is fixed on the bollard or in the stopper.
