Hi All
By my own admission I have too many projects but when I found something I wanted for a number of years on Ebay on Christmas Eve I had to click the buy it now button.Now I am not a fan of Partworks but the subject matter in question and contents outweighed that.
My purchase is the complete package (parts 1-120) of Deagostini's Twelve Apostles,Russia's 120 gun Ship of the line.This contains a myriad of photoetch parts for the fine details and cast armament unique to this model.The model is 1/100 but still makes up to a decent size.
This Part work,to my knowledge was first released in Italy then Russia and Eastern Europe.It never made it to the UK and my example is coming from Poland so guess what,the instructions will be in Polish.The pictures and many builds on the Russian forums will help.
For whatever reason this was never a massively popular partwork but the subject matter is of great personal fascination so the fact I got it for about 60% of the original high street price is a big bonus.
Not many official pics to post as the old links are now dead,but I may put a review in the kit section when I receive it in January.Not so easy with 120 separate packs.
Merry Christmas
Nigel
