Battleship "Sevastopol" in Kronstadt harbour 1917
« on: September 13, 2015, 04:00:25 PM »
Started the hull last year and she was going to be full hull displayed on plinth ( I liked the icebreaker bow shape. )  Now going to change her to waterline and diplayed on Kronstadt harbour scene showing the seamans cathederal in the background and the statue of Admiral Makarov on the dockside -- thats the plan at the moment.

The base made and the basic shape constructed for the jetty. Next a layer of plaster of paris on the jetty so I can carve out the lines between the building blocks.

All that work adding rudders and props -- now waterlined, so a waste of time and effort.

Nice looking ship, and that's where it should be, afloat!

well, at least you know all that stuff is there!  I'm as interested to see the construction of the base as much as the ship - it's a real learning experience for me.

Me as well Wizzle.
Yes Haddock I agree, ships and water they seem to go together well (just like rum and coke)

Looking good, I too am very interested in the construction of the base / diorama.

First layer of plaster of paris on the jetty.
All casement guns have had a replacement brass barrel - she had 16 x 4.7inch, as well as her main armament of 12 x 12inch.
The deck has been painted and yes she did have metal sections running across her decks - it just looks  different/wrong  take your pick.

Can't be wrong if it's right, it's only wrong if it's not right and right if it's not wrong, OK.
Haddock.
Looks good though.




And it looks right to me.

Yes, I'm definitely inspired.  I'll be having a look at one of them Haddock made me buy off him shortly I think - it'll be straight from the box though for now.  None of that brass malarkey just yet, not until I've had a good chat with you both.
