The Russian company MASTER KORABEL has produced an excellent 1/72 Polotsk kit, but I felt it was too small. So I enlarged the hull to 1/48, making it look much taller. I purchased copper cannons, and all the parts were made by myself

Hello Lidong, I have the utmost respect for your ship modelling work! It is a magnificent sailing ship and a joy to look at. Your work and skill are masterful. Thank you very much for your excellent detailed photos.
With best wishes and regards, Holger Schwarz
 
Hello Lidong, I have to whole-heartedly agree with Holger! Your model is a joy to look at and I am sure you are proud of her.
I think you did a magnificent job on her sails, what material did you use for these?
 
I love your model! Wonderfully clean build, congratulations! I am very impressed with the finish on many of the ship's elements. In particular the black finish on your spars. Would you please offer your method on how you achieved such a blemish free finish. Thanks for sharing your work.

Hello, first, we need to polish the parts smooth, and then apply the Kureha C92 model paint

Hello, the fabric was purchased online, and it's actually not very good. The fabric is a bit thick
