Battleship "Sevastopol" in Kronstadt harbour 1917

Hi,

Think I am about 10% on HS scale, just about..............!

Though Haddock makes outstanding models, they don't mean yours are any less outstanding.

So is the measurement of skill now based in Units of "HS". I think that this is a jolly good idea! We should define this!

This could get very messy and complicated.

[Haddock]

Bit like me eh! not sure about the "complicated" bit though.

Just thinking ( its that word again )  do you think I am trying to get to much use out of each blade when i break them and reuse at a smaller size - or is this in keeping with the club motto "its got to be cheap"  ??

very novel!..and typical for a yorkshireman!

[Bigkev]

Yep, typical Martin,

Tight at every point! Though a brilliant modeller!

Tight - I agree with. Brilliant modeller - definitely NOT.

Start on adding the rails. The model is by Zvezda and is excellent. The fit is so neat you can't have a coat of paint on the bits if you want a good fit
Photo 6 shows the way they have made the ships sides and deck so that a groove is left, to fit the rails into - makes life easy.
Photo 7 before you all complain that I have NOT made the rails follow the shape of the ships sides - I found a close up photo  of this section on the ship itself and the rails DONT follow the sides but cut across like I have done - research is everything.

working on the ships boats and rails now added to the ship

[MSea]

Ship ready for transfers and the ships boats and anchor with chains fitted. The aft gangway has had some hand rails made from some spare deck rails.

Etched brass - well looks good.

[MSea]

Thank you kind sir - but its not up to Haddock standard !!!

Working on boat cranes.

Neat that, very neat. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
