Let me guess Valery, this is another model from you? Looks like a second class torpedo boat from a battleship, i seen similar boats on Panteleimon/Potemkin and Retvizan.

This is a model of a steam mine boat from the battleship Peresvet. I talked about this model on 2 pages of this topic.
  There were other boats on the Potemkin and Retvizan.

Hi and congratz on a fantastic master build!

 

I have always been a bit curious about the russian ships by the name of "Retvizan", because it was

obviously a name carried by at least one Swedish warship: "HMS Rättvisan" in the late 1800s.

I think there were more than one "Rättvisan" in the Swedish navy over the years.

The name would in english translate into something like "HMS The Justice".

Any knowledge on these russian Retvizan-ships?

Thanks Pontus!

  In the Russian Navy there were only 5 ships with that name.

 

Swedish 64-gun  ship of the line ,taken prisoner in 1790, served until 1813

74-gun  ship of the line, built in 1818 in Arkhangelsk, served until 1833

74-gun  ship of the line, built in 1837 in Arkhangelsk, served until 1852 and converted into a blockhead

84-gun screw ship of the line, built in 1854 in St. Petersburg, served until 1874

Battleship built by Kramp together with Varyag 1901

How very interesting! Thank you very much!

I am surprised though that the russian navy kept the name.

 

Kind regards and Merry Christmas

Thank you Keith!
   Thanks to the Lord God, everything is fine with me and I am completing my project. It remains for me to install the steam boats on the model and raise the flags.

She is so impressive!!! It’s hard to find the words to describe her beauty and perhaps more importantly, the level of your skills and craftsmanship. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

This is a build from which I will suffer some degree of withdrawal, every time I open the site I do so with great anticipation that Valeriy has a new post on this magnificent build.

[mtaylor]

It's great to hear that you are safe on the home front and also the update on this incredible work of art.

The flags on the ship are raised and it entered service!

 

My project is complete.

They are probably similar to each other...

I congratulate everyone on New Year's holidays. I wish you good models and a peaceful sky over your head!

Valeriy,

 

Not only is this simply a stunning model, but the circumstances under which it has been created make it doubly impressive.

 

Cheers, friend, and I hope that 2023 will bring better things!
