They are probably similar to each other...   

Hopefully you never see BOTH in the same room.

 

Congratulations Valeriy, you've made more than a model; you've made friends an allies.

Absolutely superb and top-notch, Valeriy! Congratulations on not only completing this amazing model, but doing so under very trying circumstances. I wish a better and more peaceful year ahead for you.

[Roger Pellett]

Congratulations to you Valeriy for completing a remarkable model under what must have been very difficult circumstances.  Well done and I hope that the world can figure out how to end this war that is ravaging your country in the New Year.

Let's keep fingers crossed that this wonderful model reaches its safe haven and that it's builder also stays safe !

  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.

So, Valeriy, who is the lucky (and wealthy) recipient of your model ?  I suspect you built that model as a commission.

The similarity to the original is stunning. What a master you are!

 

Hope you will be able to continue your work and share it with us in the comming year(s)

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!   

[FlyingFish]

Thanks you Vareriy for sharing this with us. I look forward to your next build, and of course wish you a safe and peaceful New Year. 

[VonHoldinghausen]

How utterly wonderful! A master piece.

How I wish there were many more kits of ships from this era,

for a mere mortal like me to build. I love them.

Happy New Year!

[amateur]

Or turn to card-modelling. 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.

Just have to say this.....ships of this era epitomise the current  Steampunk Sci-Fi genre.

[Ian B]

Just a simple.'thank you' not just the build but all the time spent photographing it and sharing it with us.
