cotrecerf Posted May 26, 2021 Share #544 Posted May 26, 2021 Very nice work, Valery! All hull details are no "drowned" in paint but still crisp and clearly discernible. Did you use airbrush and what kind of paint (acrylic, 2-component car paint or else) did you apply? greetings dj.bobo, FriedClams, Valeriy V and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only paint with an airbrush, on this case I applied 2-component car paint . Apply epoxy primer from a cylinder before painting.

Dr PR Posted May 26, 2021 Share #546 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Valeriy, I have been following this model since you started back in 2018. Your workmanship is superb, and the model is beautiful! A person can learn a lot about building a model from scratch by reading thorough this thread. One of the things I find interesting about the Varyag is that even though it was a Russian Navy ship it was built by the Cramp Shipyard in Philadelphia, USA. The cruiser I served on was also built by Cramp, but 40 years later. There were a lot of changes in ship design over those 40 years! I actually came across your build by accident. I was studying the modern Russian Navy Varyag guided missile cruiser and Google lead me here. It was a fortunate bit of serendipity.

I got acquainted with your wonderful work a little earlier, when my friend Vladimir began to build his model according to your wonderful drawings. In the Soviet Navy there were two missile cruisers with the same name, project 58 and project 1164. Which one are you interested in?

Dr PR Posted May 27, 2021 Share #549 Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) It was project 1164, a Slava class. Three were completed back in the 1980s. Moskva. Marshal Ustinov and Varyag. Ukrayina was started but not finished. Ukraine took possession after the breakup of the Soviet Union and it is in Mykolaiv, Ukraine. I think these are beautiful ships, although a bit out dated now. They served in the same flagship role as the USS Oklahoma City CG-5 that I served on. The huge anti-ship Balzat/Sandbox missiles are similar technology to the Talos missiles I worked on.

The last of them "Admiral Lobov" (the future "Ukraine") was in front of my eyes all 6 years that I spent in Nikolaev during my studies.

I to like your small details such as the chain and shackles. The capstans are small works of art in themselves. I like the method that you used to create the vents as well.
