Niagara by Sergey Karelia - Model Shipways


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! A few years ago I started assembling this amazing ship. the elements from the set are not quite satisfied - they are very brittle. For this reason, I had to do a lot myself and took a lot of time. for some period I was at a dead end until I found this forum - I have very little information on the ship. Here I looked at the topics on this model and was inspired by the model again.

Not quite. Only drawings, carronades and cannons remained from the kit. I used pear rails for the deck, sheathed the sides with black and yellow hornbeam (I do not like and do not know how to paint wood). the frames were brittle, I cut everything out of plywood. I wind the threads myself from Gutermann Tera, they are not twisted in the set in my opinion

Wonderful work!! Your non-painted wood looks better than painted!
