Thanks. Background, history? (forgive my ignorance) One of Katherine the Great's fleet (where John Paul Jones was briefly an Admiral)?

As always, spectacular!

Продолжаем конструкцию Олега. Я смастерил ящики для кроватей. Я сварил и склеил переборку бака. Отогнул рейки по краю и начал приклеивать отделку снизу от бархоута.

What huge progress in a relatively short period of time! You really have the focus and drive, not to mention talent! Thumbsup

If you mean these, yes, I have them.

Iterum · Oct 26, 2023

Yes these I thought about. Are they more helpfull than the paper kit to your build?

Mr.Deep · Oct 26, 2023

I think they're both useful. Most likely, the development of a paper model is based on these drawings.

I'm finishing the lining of the underwater part of the hull. There's still a little bit left. This part will be sanded, primed and glued with copper.

Peter Gutterman · Oct 28, 2023

Can't wait to see what your copper sheathing will look like!
