Thanks for posting pics of your build. I just got my kit and trying to build the kit. This is my first naval kit and yes, I already broke some parts of the MDF frame. It's low grade fiberboard but I guess it does the job. I look forward to making progress to my kit, using your photos as inspiration and reference. Thanks!

I am happy that this building log is of help.

It will be nice if you start your building log too. We can all help you and also your log will help others in the future.

Cheers
Daniel

I fully agree Daniel proposing, that you could also start a building log - would be great
 
HI,
What a fantastic job you have done on this unusual model.
The finish on your model is very Professional and the staining really looks the part.
Also I would like to say that I enjoyed the build log and found it very interesting.
Well done.

Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome. Unfortunately, I'm a slow builder and with work, my progress is even slower. Work gets intense and I get so little time to build, but I will consider taking pics as I move forward. I looked at the instructions and I'm already feeling antsy on the window frame. I may have to farm that out to be laser cut so I don't have to glue any sticks together. We will see.

Thanks again and I apologize for such a slow response. Work takes up all my time.

Well, this is finally the end for this model and log. Finish the base and placed it as the Russian repo.

First picture is a screen shot from ZHL MODEL. Same pictures and more info can be find using the links provided at the first post.

I am using this screen shoot for you all to compare with the finish model.

My pictures are taken using one of my dogs pad. Letting you know, so you do not scratch your head thinking what is my background :)

If you zoom the pictures you will see all the details.

So here we go :

This is it.

Yes the sub

I didn't assemble the Nigel kit, never i had one on my hand to do a comparison of both. Nevertheless, based on the Nigel kit box images, I like more the realistic design of the Chinese kit. Look the REAL sub images on my thread vs the images of my finished model vs the box image of Nigel kit and take your conclusions. But it is you who can transform Nigel kit in something with a more real look and details.

A scratch built
